«With a major US jobs report coming up, macro uncertainty could stir things up again. So, for now, we’re neutral to cautiously optimistic. We’ll be watching closely to see if BTC holds key levels or starts building momentum again. The bigger trend still looks intact — this may just be a breather after a strong run,» Srinivas L, CEO, crypto investment firm 9Point Capital told Gadgets 360 commenting on the market situation.

«Ethereum is drawing attention, with spot ETFs seeing four consecutive weeks of inflows totaling over $856 million (roughly Rs. 7,321 crore). But this week belonged to Bitcoin’s resilience. The broader market is watching closely, and BTC’s ability to defend support levels signals that the bull cycle remains alive beneath the surface,» said Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder and CEO of the Pi42 exchange.
