The crypto market saw a volatile but upward trajectory during the week of September 1β7, 2025. Global market capitalization rose from $3.77T β $3.93T (+4%), reversing Augustβs slump as investors positioned for looser U.S. monetary policy. Let us now cover the price movements and key reasons in this weekly crypto update.
Bitcoin (BTC) opened the week near $108,253, dipping to $107,271 before rebounding sharply after the U.S. jobs report on September 6. Weak data (only 22,000 jobs added vs. 75,000 expected, unemployment at 4.3%, highest since 2021) boosted Fed rate cut bets, sending BTC above $113,400 before closing around $110,194β$112,000 (+3β4%).
Ethereum (ETH) tracked similar movements, starting at $4,314, briefly dipping to $4,221, then stabilizing in the $4,400β$4,500 range (+1β2% weekly). Altcoins followed mixed patterns, though ETF flows showed divergence: spot ETH ETFs saw $952M outflows in 5 days, even as BTC reclaimed momentum.
Early-week weakness stemmed from August hangover effects, geopolitical tensions, and $453M in token unlocks, but Powellβs dovish policy backdrop plus the jobs report flipped sentiment bullish. Heading into September 11, CPI data is the next key catalyst.
$MYX (+193%)
$SOMI (+159%)
$MEY (+114%)
$SAPIEN (+93%)
$PUMP (+48%)
$DOLO (β42%)
$CAMP (β32%)
$CFG (β18%)
$DAG (β16%)
$RPL (β14%)
This weekly crypto update shows how quickly sentiment can shift. From weak early-week trading to a post-jobs-report surge, BTC and ETH closed higher, restoring optimism for September.
The spotlight now shifts to CPI data on Sept 11. A softer print could cement Fed rate cuts and propel BTC toward $120Kβ$125K, pushing global market cap beyond $4T. But a hotter reading risks pulling BTC back to $105K support. Traders should prepare for volatility, as macro signals remain the marketβs key driver.
