BOTTOM LINE: BTC closed at 76,428, up 1.7% on the day, while ETH gained 2.2% to 2,400. The rally is real but narrow: BTC RSI is elevated at 66.2 and momentum is still pushing higher, yet the ETH/BTC ratio has compressed to 0.03141, signaling that bitcoin dominance is coming at the expense of altcoins. This is defensive market behavior, and the macro backdrop remains mixed with a stronger DXY and modest bond weakness weighing on sentiment.

MARKET BREAKDOWN:

  • Bitcoin: Strong -- BTC is up for the day with RSI still in continuation mode at 66.2. Realized vol is low at 36%, which historically gives rallies cleaner air, though historical analogs suggest a small mean-reversion risk over the next 24 hours.
