Beyond the Top Ten: Recent Highs and Quick Declines

Outlook: Rotation or Reset?
While Bitcoin appears to be consolidating just under its peak, many altcoins are still trying to regain their footing. The divergence raises key questions for investors: Is capital rotation into BTC a short-term trend, or is the market repricing altcoin valuations more broadly?
With macroeconomic conditions evolving and regulatory shifts on the horizon, the race to reclaim or redefine all-time highs remains wide open.
