Bitcoin returned to $83,000 while Ethereum, Solana and XRP dropped between 2% and 5% over the past 24 hours. Only 11 of 66 large-cap altcoins finished last week higher, while Bitcoin dominance climbed toward 59.5%. However, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $679 million in weekly outflows, the largest since late June. Analyst Benjamin Cowen expects altcoins to keep losing ground against Bitcoin until monetary conditions become more accommodative, potentially a year or two away. Analyst Kevin warned that Bitcoin faces a deeper correction ahead of consumer price index data, with $77,000 to $83,000 as critical support.
