$BTC BTC/ETH (market anchor)
The market traded in a narrow range overall this week, with selling pressure overhead and support below. Prices repeatedly dipped below support before recovering, while leveraged positions in derivatives were frequently liquidated. ETF flows showed periodic outflows, and institutions did not make major additions to their core holdings; instead, they mostly sold high and bought low within the range. Large-cap assets helped stabilize the market, but did not drive a broad rally. BTC dominance rose, and most altcoins underperformed the broader market.
Key signal: The market has no clear one-way trend for now. In the short term, it is consolidating near the bottom and shaking out weak holders; a directional move will likely require a macro or regulatory catalyst.
