What I'm watching today
- A close below Bitcoin's 24-hour low of 62,081 USD would signal an extension of downward momentum beyond the intraday range.
- A close below Ethereum's 24-hour low of 1,714 USD would signal further downside following its 19.3% seven-day decline.
- A shift in Bitcoin's monitor state from Neutral to Bearish trend would signal that the largest asset has joined the downtrend already active in Ethereum and Solana.
Yasmin Al-Rashid's take
I see a market in defensive retreat, where capital is concentrating in Bitcoin while alternative tokens absorb the heaviest weekly losses. The risk I am keeping in mind is that an index level of 10 leaves no cushion if Bitcoin slips from its neutral trend.

index at 10 and dominance still climbing to 58.6%, alts getting shredded for btc exit liquidity again lol
Dominance rising while total cap drops 6% is the textbook risk-off move. Seen this exact setup before, it usually resolves with alts bleeding a few more days.
10 on the gauge, was 28 a week ago and 63 before that. historically this zone is where the bounce lives, not the top
