I saw this Friday that the crypto market is a bit sliding, especially Bitcoin which only increased slightly during the week but dropped slightly today. BTC is at $77.82K while Ethereum is at $2.32K, both slightly down in 24 hours due to risk-off sentiment in equities. The previous momentum that reached $70K has disappeared after stock market volatility, so it's natural for crypto to follow.
The interesting part is to look at the weekly chart - Cardano increased by 0.27%, Solana by 0.31%, and BNB by 0.21% over the week. Even though we are down this Friday, the altcoins still hold those gains. Only XRP is struggling, down 0.97% in 24 hours and slightly red on the weekly. It seems this pattern is just a leverage flush rather than an actual trend change - buyers can easily return at lower levels.
If you look at the macro picture, equities in Asia rallied significantly this month, and crypto is just following that movement. Until we see fresh demand, Bitcoin will continue to move along with the stock market. When equities fall, we fall too. This Friday mood is probably temporary, especially if the weekly trend remains positive for altcoins.
