Bitcoin Stabilizes as Altcoins Gain Momentum

Cryptocurrency markets showed limited movement among major assets, with Bitcoin and Ethereum rising by approximately 1% over the past week.

In contrast, the altcoin market recorded stronger gains, signaling increasing investor appetite for higher-risk digital assets. This shift suggests a rotation away from Bitcoin dominance toward alternative cryptocurrencies.

In equity markets, the Buffett Indicator pointed to a modest market uptick, maintaining the broader positive trend seen in 2025. The Fear & Greed Index remains in neutral territory, reflecting cautious investor sentiment.

Market expectations indicate a high probability that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged at its upcoming meeting.
