Bitcoin's recent market trend seems to have a bit of a solo act flavor, with altcoins appearing to have little presence. The interesting part is here——

BTC finally broke through the previously hard-to-reach threshold, with 97,000 becoming a reality. Even more dramatic is that this rally coincided precisely with the decline of the US stock market, with the two markets taking different paths.

ETH has been holding above 3300 without letting go during this period. Everyone in the community is aware of the positive news, but the key still depends on whether the market is rational enough to push it further upward.

SOL's performance is also worth paying attention to.

Overall, mainstream coins have shown quite strong resilience in this rally, but whether they can drive the entire market higher still depends on whether subsequent buying can keep up.

BTC1.18%

ETH1.43%

SOL-0.76%

97,000 this threshold has finally been broken, but it's just Bitcoin having fun over there. The copycats are still dreaming; when will they wake up? Mainstream coins are really strong this round, but the question is, do retail investors still dare to jump in? Walking alone is no fun, it all depends on whether the buying volume behind can support it. US stocks fall while BTC rises? That's called a reverse operation. Holding the 3300 level so stubbornly, ETH feels a bit frustrated.

97k has been broken, it feels like mainstream coins are about to break free from gravity. Altcoins are still sleeping, they haven't woken up at all. ETH holding at 3300 so strongly, is there really something behind it or is it just like this? When the US stock market drops, Bitcoin actually rises. This inverse operation is quite interesting... who is really leading whom? If the buying pressure later can't keep up, it will be awkward. I'm afraid it will have to pull back to find support again.

Bitcoin's solo flight is a bit outrageous. Has the altcoin scene been completely forgotten? Breaking 97k and still claiming it's hard to reach? Laughable. When US stocks fall, it rises. This decoupling is really interesting. Holding firm at 3300, what is ETH waiting for? Still waiting for that elusive thing called rationality to show up. The key still depends on whether retail investors are willing to step in. Right now, it's all a one-man show by the big players.

Bitcoin's solo dance, to put it simply, is institutions playing while retail investors watch the show. Breaking through the 97k level isn't a big deal; the key is whether it can hold steady, otherwise it's just an illusion of high value. The quietness of the copycat coins might have to wait until the mainstream coins stabilize the market; otherwise, no one dares to make a move.

Bitcoin's solo performance this time is truly outstanding, with no altcoin making a sound at all, which is a bit intimidating. When it broke through 97K, the US stocks were still falling, and the contrast was incredible. ETH is holding tightly at 3300, refusing to let go, but the question is who will step in to buy later. Mainstream coins are resistant to declines, but the key is whether retail investors are willing to chase the high. SOL is quietly gaining momentum, which is quite interesting.

97K is still only Bitcoin partying, this rhythm doesn't feel right Altcoins are dead silent, probably another bunch of contract orders exploded ETH stubbornly holding at 3300, which means someone is still defending the market Whether to follow up on buying pressure is the key, otherwise this wave will be just false fire Mainstream coins are resilient to drops, but if they can't lift small-cap tokens, it's pointless Bitcoin dancing alone in this market is the most disgusting, retail investors will have to go blow up contracts

Bitcoin's solo dance, I've seen it coming a long time ago. Altcoins should have already fallen, haha. Breaking below 97,000 is just breaking, the key is whether it can hold steady. ETH struggling to stay above 3300 feels a bit tiring; it depends on when the US stock market stops being so annoying. Mainstream coins are holding up well this round, but if you really want to lead the market? You need real capital to buy in. SOL has been a bit quiet lately, not like its usual flamboyant self. Even if US stocks fall, BTC can still rise. This inverse operation is quite interesting. If buying volume can't keep up, it's pointless. Honestly, it still depends on big players' approval. Altcoins are just altcoins; it seems this time it's truly the stage for mainstream coins. Breaking through 3300 would be promising; otherwise, it's just repeated fluctuations. Just dance alone if you want, anyway, as a retail investor like me, following mainstream coins and lying flat is the safest.
