Bitcoin cools, cycle risk up, users shift chains, top crypto jobs pay
BTC lost momentum near 112,000 while analysts flag October cycle risk. User growth favors low-fee chains, and top crypto roles offer outsized pay tied to results.

What we will talk about today...
Bitcoin’s euphoric phase fades, 112,000 to 116,000 is the test
Fastest-growing blockchains, users drive the ranking
Analyst warns of October bear start, 50,000 target into 2026
Highest-paying crypto jobs, where the money is in 2025
BTC pulled back 14 percent from the 124,500 high and hit 107,400. The rebound to 112,000 needs follow-through.
Drop from peak: Down 14 percent from 124,500. Signals profit taking and cooling demand.
Supply in profit: About 90 percent of coins sit in profit. That aligns with a 104,100 to 114,300 consolidation band.
Key levels: A move above 112,000 to 116,000 turns short-term momentum. A slip under 104,100 risks deeper weakness.
$BTC Has been consolidating below its previous local range and has failed to retake it.
A move back above $112K and holding there would be good in the short term.
I do however want to note the fact that the current monthly low at ~$107K is pretty weak and that 87% of months set

Fastest-growing blockchains, users drive the ranking
Active users, not hype, lead 2025 growth. DeFi, NFTs, and stablecoins bring in millions.
Leaders by activity: Solana, Near, BNB Chain, Base, and Tron post the highest monthly users.
Growth drivers: Low fees near a cent on L2s, big partners, and ETF-driven on-ramps.
Risks to watch: Inflated metrics from bots, scaling tradeoffs, and rising L1-L2 competition.
“Blockchain growth in 2025 hinges on real usage and tech upgrades, not speculation.”
A four-year cycle view points to a bear phase beginning in October. Bulls eye 100,000 support first.
Cycle timing: Model suggests the current cycle nears its end next month.
Targets in play: Retest near 100,000 now, then a possible slide toward 50,000 into 2026.
What breaks the path: A push past 140,000 would invalidate the bear setup.
“This could be enough time for BTC to dip toward the 100K range before pushing past 140K.”
Joao Wedson, Alphractal
“This one chart decides if BTC breaks below 100K or to new highs.”

Highest-paying crypto jobs, where the money is in 2025
Top roles tie pay to PnL, risk reduction, or large deal flow. Expect variable income.
DeFi quants: Mid-career total comp around 180,000 to 325,000, higher with profit share.
Legal and compliance: Senior packages up to 500,000 total comp at scale.
Security auditors and whitehats: Bases near 150,000 to 200,000, bounties up to millions.
Brokers for mining sites: Fees of 1 to 3 percent on multi-million contracts, six-figure months possible.
“Bounties are lumpy. A single critical can beat a year’s salary.”
Security lead
“Big Bitcoin infrastructure deals pay on success.”
