Analysis

Historic Crypto Weekly Move Demands Tactical Respect

BTC +22.2% and ETH +28.0% on the 7-day frame represent multi-sigma moves, with XRP's +41.1% suggesting speculative fervor extending deep into alts. BTC dominance at 59.8% is holding despite alt outperformance, indicating broad-based capital inflows rather than pure rotation. The 24h pullback of -0.9% BTC and -3-5% across alts is a healthy pause, but the Fear & Greed Index at 65 (Greed) — not yet Extreme Greed — suggests the move may have further room. Portfolio implication: maintain overweight but tighten trailing stops given the velocity of the move.
