These movements reflect a mixed institutional appetite for cryptocurrencies, influenced in part by broader macroeconomic uncertainties, including the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.
The data underscores a cautious approach from investors, who appear to be trimming exposure despite pockets of selective buying. This signals a period of consolidation and heightened market sensitivity.
Finally, market stability now hinges on BTC reclaiming $115K, ongoing tariff developments, and the U.S. government shutdown, with investor sentiment poised for a potential rebound if key levels hold.
