Crypto Market Analysis

"BTC remains range-bound after a failed breakout attempt above $116,500 and is consolidating around $115,000 as markets await clarity from the U.S. Fed policy moves. While short-term positioning remains cautious, institutional demand through spot ETFs is lending support to the upside. Over the past six trading days, spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded more than $2B in inflows."

"Meanwhile, MicroStrategy has expanded its holdings to over $73B, adding 525 BTC in its latest purchase and bringing its total to 638,985 BTC. ETH pulled back to test support near $4,500 before finding stability. The price is now consolidating slightly above this level, with $4,600 emerging as the threshold for upside momentum, while $4,500 remains the key support to hold." As per CoinSwitchMarket Desk
