> A Market That’s Cooling Without Breaking
The most important takeaway from this week isn’t price, it's the structure we are in which is higher high and higher low.
Market snapshot metrics show a market that is cooling after a strong push last week combined with macro news.
Fear & Greed remains neutral, RSI sits in the middle, and total market cap is only marginally down.
That combination usually signals absorption, not panic.
When markets drop hard, momentum indicators snap lower fast.
Instead, we’re seeing controlled pullbacks with selective strength in altcoins that already had narratives forming.
This kind of action tends to appear mid-trend, not at market tops.
> Altcoins Are Still Acting Independently
Altseason index sitting in the mid-20s tells an interesting story.
We’re not in a full-blown altseason, but capital is clearly rotating.
GameFi, privacy, and infrastructure tokens are getting picked up again, even as broader conditions stay neutral.
That suggests traders are willing to take measured risk, not reckless bets.
Power Moves this week weren’t driven by hype alone.
They were driven by listings, roadmaps, events, and narrative clarity.
That matters.
It means capital is being deployed with intention, not desperation.
> Macro Is Still the Swing Factor
The macro calendar ahead is heavy.
Liquidity injections, political speeches, and rate decisions are all lining up in a tight window.
Markets usually don’t wait for outcomes.
They position before them.
Right now, price action suggests participants are cautious but optimistic.
No one is all-in.
No one is fully out.
That’s often the setup before expansion.
If liquidity conditions improve even slightly, assets that already showed relative strength will likely move first.
