I just noticed that Bitcoin and altcoins are experiencing selling pressure again since last Friday. After a pretty good rally at the start of the week, suddenly there's a wave of sell-off that turns the market red. But what's interesting is, despite the correction on Friday, most major assets are still holding their weekly gains—that's a sign that the market structure remains strong.

So what’s happening? Basically, global investors are in risk-off mode. They are starting to shift funds from crypto and tech stocks into safer assets like the dollar or gold. This ripple effect reflects macro concerns—high inflation, unclear interest rate cuts, and geopolitical tensions. This movement has ripple effects, causing a domino impact across all speculative markets, including crypto.

Look at the data: Bitcoin dropped 0.33% in the past 24 hours, but is still up 3.96% for the week. Ethereum down 0.62% daily but still up 0.89% weekly. Solana fell 1.37% in a day, but its weekly performance remains positive at 0.89%. This indicates that yesterday’s selling volume was relatively moderate—no massive panic selling.

From a technical perspective, the market is searching for a new “floor.” If Bitcoin can hold above the 20-day moving average, last Friday can be seen as a healthy retest. But if it breaks below that, a deeper correction could happen ahead of next month.

What’s important for the average trader is that this is just part of a normal cycle. Volatility like this often occurs before the next upward move—that’s commonly called a “shakeout,” where speculative positions are liquidated. So there’s no need to panic seeing today’s red candle. Just focus on the weekly outlook and macro perspective.

While risk-off sentiment continues, the fact that major assets are still holding their weekly gains shows that market integrity remains intact. Next week will likely depend on whether current support levels hold or not. The crypto market appears to be in a cautious consolidation phase—balancing technological optimism with the realities of the complex global financial landscape.
