Data checked on August 7, 2026, at approximately 09:20 AM WIB. The global crypto market capitalization is around US$2.28 trillion with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately US$49.1 billion. Bitcoin dominance is at 56.7%, while Ethereum is around 10.1%.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has risen to 29, or the Fear category, compared to 25, or Extreme Fear, the previous day. Sentiment is improving, but this level indicates that market participants remain relatively cautious.

Bitcoin Holds Around US$64,000

Bitcoin is trading at around US$64,360, down slightly by about 0.3% over the last 24 hours. During this period, BTC has moved within a range of approximately US$64,114 to US$64,916. The 24-hour trading volume is in the range of US$18 billion.

This movement indicates that Bitcoin is still in a consolidation phase. The US$65,000 area remains a psychological barrier that has yet to be consistently broken.

The nearest support is around US$64,000–US$64,100, followed by US$63,300–US$63,500. Meanwhile, resistance is around US$64,900–US$65,000, with US$66,000 as the next area if momentum strengthens. This level is an editorial technical estimate based on recent price ranges and is not a guarantee of future movement.

Bitcoin ETFs Still Seeing Inflows, but August 6 Data Incomplete

United States spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a preliminary net inflow of US$9.3 million on August 6. However, BlackRock's IBIT data has not yet been included, so this figure cannot be considered the final session total.

In the preliminary data, FBTC received US$11.2 million, BITB US$1.7 million, MSBT US$14.9 million, while HODL experienced an outflow of US$32.8 million. Grayscale's GBTC and BTC products recorded US$7.5 million and US$6.8 million, respectively.

There is one important update from the previous article: the finalized net inflow for August 5 reached US$244.4 million, not US$47.6 million as the preliminary figure available earlier the previous day suggested. IBIT itself was ultimately recorded as receiving US$196.8 million during that session.

Thus, the August 6 data is not sufficient to conclude that institutional demand has dropped drastically. The final total must wait for data from all ETFs, especially IBIT.

Ethereum Holds in the US$1,900 Area

Ethereum is trading around US$1,901, down slightly by about 0.2% in 24 hours. ETH is moving within a range of approximately US$1,892 to US$1,917 with a trading volume of around US$7 billion.

The US$1,890 area is the nearest support, followed by US$1,850. Meanwhile, US$1,915–US$1,920 serves as initial resistance. A stronger breakout could open the door toward US$1,950 and then US$2,000.

Spot Ethereum ETFs also recorded a preliminary net inflow of around US$9 million on August 6Data for BlackRock's ETHA and ETHB are not yet available, so this total is still subject to change. For comparison, the final net inflow on August 5 reached US$60.8 million.

BNB Moves Sideways Around US$593

BNB is trading around US$593.29, up slightly by about 0.1% in 24 hours. The price is moving within a range of US$589.59 to US$597.51.

The US$589–US$590 area serves as short-term support, while US$597–US$600 is the nearest resistance. BNB needs to break back above US$600 for short-term bullish momentum to become clearer.

Solana Drops to Around US$72

Solana is among the major assets performing weaker. SOL is trading around US$72.54, down about 1.4% in 24 hours and moving between US$72.30 and US$74.24.

The US$72 area is a key support level. If this level fails to hold, US$70 could once again become an area to watch. Conversely, SOL needs to break through US$74.20–US$75 to improve its short-term momentum.

PLUME Surges About 21%

Plume, or PLUME, was one of the most prominent tokens on August 7. PLUME is in second place on the CoinGecko trending list based on user searches over the last three hours.

PLUME is trading around US$0.0130, up about 21% in 24 hours with a trading volume of approximately US$26 million. The price fluctuated between US$0.01071 and US$0.01314.

Interest in PLUME has grown following the project's inclusion in a working group related to DTCC tokenization. PLUME itself is categorized by CoinGecko as a project associated with Real World Assets or RWA, making the tokenization narrative one of the primary factors driving community attention.

Following a roughly 20% gain in a single day, the risk of profit-taking has also increased. The area near US$0.0131 is the immediate level that needs to be cleared if the rally is to continue.

CASHCAT Remains Trending Despite Price Correction

Cash Cat remains the most searched token on CoinGecko, but its price performance differs from the previous day. CASHCAT is now trading at around US$0.0955, down approximately 10.5% over the last 24 hours.

Despite the daily correction, CASHCAT is still up by about 100% over the past seven days and has recorded a trading volume of approximately US$93 million. The 24-hour price range has been quite wide, between US$0.0946 and US$0.1859.

CoinGecko attributes the recent correction to sell-the-news activity following its Robinhood listing. This movement demonstrates that trending status does not always mean the price is rising. Tokens can remain highly searched precisely when they are experiencing significant volatility or corrections.

PENGU Remains Highly Searched Despite Decline

Pudgy Penguins, or PENGU, is the third most searched asset by the community according to CoinGecko's trending list. The price of PENGU is currently around US$0.0060, down approximately 3.8% in 24 hours.

PENGU's trading volume is around US$52 million with a price range of approximately US$0.00593–US$0.00632. Despite the price decline, PENGU continues to receive significant attention from the community; CoinGecko sentiment data also shows that the majority of community responses to the token remain positive at the time of checking.

This condition once again demonstrates that trending searches measure user attention, not just price performance.

BLESS Starts to Fade from the Spotlight, HYPE Still Holding On

The composition of highly searched tokens has changed quite rapidly compared to August 6. BLESS, which was previously one of the most prominent tokens, no longer appears in the CoinGecko top 10 trending list as of the morning check on August 7. Conversely, HYPE is still on the list, but it sits below CASHCAT, PLUME, PENGU, and several other tokens.

This means that the altcoin section of the market update is indeed more accurately updated daily based on the latest community attention, rather than keeping the same tokens just because they experienced large gains in the previous session.

Altcoin Rotation Shifts to RWA and Speculative Tokens

Trends on August 7 show that the rotation of community attention remains highly selective. PLUME carries the narrative of RWA and tokenization, CASHCAT is in the memecoin and Robinhood Chain space, while PENGU remains supported by the Pudgy Penguins community and the NFT ecosystem.

CoinGecko records CASHCAT, PLUME, and PENGU as the top three tokens based on searches over the last three hours. PLUME is up more than 20%, while CASHCAT and PENGU have corrected. This condition indicates that the rotation of attention has not yet developed into a broad-based altcoin rally.

Bitcoin dominance, which is still at 56.7% , also shows that the majority of market capitalization remains concentrated in BTC.

US Productivity Up 1.4%

From a macroeconomic perspective, the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that productivity in the US nonfarm business sector increased 1.4% on an annualized basis in the second quarter of 2026. Unit labor costs rose 1.3%, while hourly compensation increased 2.7%.

The data suggests that productivity continues to rise while labor cost pressures remain relatively contained. However, the market's primary focus this Friday is no longer the productivity report, but rather the employment report.

Nonfarm Payrolls to Be the Main Catalyst Tonight

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is scheduled to release the Employment Situation for July 2026 on Friday, August 7, at 8:30 AM Eastern Time or approximately 7:30 PM WIB.

For comparison, the June report showed that nonfarm payrolls added 57,000 jobs with an unemployment rate of 4.2%. Tonight's July data will provide new insights into the state of the labor market and could potentially influence expectations regarding Federal Reserve policy.

Stronger labor data could increase pressure on risk assets if the market anticipates that the Fed needs to maintain tighter policy. Conversely, moderate weakness could boost expectations for monetary easing. However, overly sharp weakness could still raise concerns about the state of the economy.

Conclusion

The crypto market on August 7, 2026, remains in a consolidation phase. Bitcoin is holding around $64,000, Ethereum is near $1,900, BNB is moving relatively flat, while Solana is experiencing slight pressure. The global market capitalization is around $2.28 trillion, and the Fear and Greed Index has improved from Extreme Fear to Fear.

In the altcoin market, PLUME has become a new highlight with a gain of approximately 21%, while CASHCAT and PENGU remain at the top of search lists despite price corrections. BLESS has dropped out of the top 10 trending list, while HYPE is still holding on but is no longer the main center of attention.

From an institutional perspective, Bitcoin ETF data for August 6 still shows temporary inflows, though it remains incomplete as IBIT figures are not yet available. The market's primary focus now shifts to the July Nonfarm Payrolls report, scheduled for release tonight at 7:30 PM WIB.
