The core market remains firmly positive across both timeframes. BTC continues to provide strong market leadership, but ETH, XRP and SOL are outperforming it on the weekly frame, showing that risk appetite is extending meaningfully beyond Bitcoin.
📌 Weak Spots
• LEO: $9.3601 | +0.47% 24h | -0.67% 7d
• CC: $0.12525 | -0.52% 24h | +36.79% 7d

• BNB: $711.90 | +1.72% 24h | +17.95% 7d
Weakness is mostly relative rather than outright bearish. LEO is the only asset in this group with a negative weekly reading, while CC is correcting on the daily frame after a strong 7-day advance. TRX, XMR and BNB remain positive but trail the strongest momentum pockets.
📌 Liquidity Picture
• USDT: $0.9999 | -0.02% 24h | +0.07% 7d | $114.46B volume
• USDC: $1.0003 | +0.03% 24h | +0.01% 7d | $22.52B volume
• DAI: $1.00061 | +0.10% 24h | +0.05% 7d | $39.60M volume
Stablecoins remain closely anchored around parity, with USDT dominating visible liquidity. Total market volume at $105.62B supports strong participation as gains remain distributed across both majors and higher-beta altcoins.
📝 Insight:
The market is holding a broad positive structure at $2.67T, with both daily and weekly momentum extending across most visible assets. BTC dominance at 59.4% remains elevated, yet ETH dominance at 11.3% coincides with strong ETH and altcoin performance rather than concentrated Bitcoin-only leadership. ZEC, XRP, HYPE, SOL and BCH show especially strong breadth, while outright weakness is limited. The next phase depends on whether this broad participation can persist while BTC dominance remains high and the strongest altcoins retain their weekly momentum.
