The ETH/BTC spread widened 151 basis points favoring Bitcoin, signaling continued flight-to-quality dynamics within crypto allocations. Correlation with traditional risk assets persisted as macro uncertainty weighs on sentiment.
Bitcoin — Dominant Narrative
Bitcoin consolidated below the $81,000 resistance level, testing weekly support near $80,500. The 7-day decline of 0.76% suggests sideways consolidation rather than trend reversal. Institutional cu
stody flows indicate accumulation at current levels, with whale addresses adding approximately 2,400 BTC over the weekend. Key support remains at $79,200.
Ethereum and DeFi
Ethereum underperformed with a 2.64% decline to $2,278, pressured by Layer 2 value capture concerns. Staking yields compressed to 3.2% as validator count peaked. DeFi TVL remained stable at $47B, though protocol revenues declined 8% week-over-week across major platforms.
Altcoins — Capital Rotation
Solana emerged as the weekly outperformer, gaining 6.59% to $95.02 on ecosystem development momentum. Traditional L1s including Cardano and Aval
anche showed modest weekly gains despite session weakness. XRP consolidated above $1.40 amid regulatory clarity expectations.
