The crypto market is closing out a highly volatile week under intense selling pressure, with broad liquidations dragging the total market cap down to roughly $2.53 trillion as the weekend drew to a close.
Core Market Performance
The market has taken a distinct turn toward a bearish "wait-and-see" phase, with nearly 90% of tracked assets logging losses over the weekend.
Bitcoin (BTC): Trading at approximately $78,820. BTC has officially broken below the crucial $80,000 psychological floor, down roughly 3% over the last 24 hours. Buyers are currently trying to establish a defense at the short-term holder cost basis around $79,100 to prevent a deeper correction
.Ethereum (ETH): Currently priced around $2,220. ETH has slipped nearly 2.8% over the weekend, struggling to find solid ground after being rejected by heavy resistance at $2,386 earlier in the week.
Solana (SOL): Dropped 3.45% down to the $88 range, temporarily cooling off the momentum generated by its Alpenglow mainnet anticipation.
Market Dominance: Bitcoin dominance holds steady at 58.2%, absorbing capital as altcoins take a heavier hit.
