What I'm watching today
- A close below the 24-hour low of 77,670 USD for Bitcoin would signal that today's rebound is faltering.
- A close above the 24-hour high of 2,443 USD for Ethereum would signal continuing upward momentum after its daily gain.
- A move below the 24-hour low of 92.46 USD for Solana would signal an extension of its weekly downturn.
Yasmin Al-Rashid's take
I see a market catching its breath in neutral territory, with Bitcoin's 59.6% dominance keeping the broader space tightly tethered. The risk I am keeping in mind is that weekly losses in BNB and Solana show underlying demand remains fragile.
