Bitcoin (BTC) has come under pressure in mid-August 2025 as exchange inflows begin to rise, signaling a possible build-up in supply that could affect short-term price action.

Despite the dip, Bitcoin remains close to its recent highs, keeping traders focused on whether the correction is temporary or the start of a deeper retracement.
