Throughout this week, the altcoin market showed a mixed picture relative to Bitcoin dominance, revealing an interesting divergence among major tokens.

The standouts defied the downward pressure: ICP surged ahead with a notable +19.85% gain, while ETH managed a modest +2.15% upside. TRX held its ground with a slight +1.15% increase against BTC.

However, the broader altcoin landscape couldn't escape selling pressure. The declines ranged from minor to significant: LINK dipped -0.37%, SOL slipped -0.66%, and AAVE retreated -0.67%. Things steepened from there—ARB took a -1.89% hit, while DOT fell -3.23% and APT dropped -3.97%.

The deeper pullbacks painted a clearer picture of weakness: ADA faced -4.01% headwinds, NEAR tumbled -4.48%, XLM surrendered -5.04%, HBAR sank -5.49%, and TON bled -5.83%. AVAX rounded out the heavy losers on the weekly chart.

The takeaway? Most major altcoins are trading defensively against Bitcoin momentum, with only selective outperformers breaking the downside trend.
