LEGACY MARKETS – DXY
DXY has nearly fully recovered from its previous decline and is gearing up to break into new highs again, which may pressure risky assets.

BTC WEEKLY VIEW
After consolidating around the 100K level, BTC retested the daily MA30 and broke through to a new ATH on Sunday, reaching approximately 105K. We may see an uptrend after the correction.
ETH WEEKLY VIEW
ETH experienced a sharp hit last Monday, dropping nearly 10% in a single day. Over the week, the price gradually recovered to its previous levels but has yet to reach a new high. This also indicates strong buy interests and, thus, a sign of strength.
ETH/BTC
In the context of BTC continuously setting new highs, ETH has yet to show significant strength. However, ETH/BTC is currently breaking the previous downtrend line, and we should keep an eye on whether it can play the catch-up.
TOTAL3 USD MARKET STRENGTH
TOTAL3 was also hit hard on Monday, similar to ETH, and it found support at lower levels and rebounded.
TOTAL3 BTC MARKET STRENGTH
We did see the pullback we mentioned from last week, mainly because BTC has continuously set new highs while other coins are still recovering from Monday's decline. This also proves that other coins don't seem to have much upside momentum before Bitcoin shows any weakness.
SUMMARY
BTC continues to set new highs and dominate the cryptocurrency market, making other coins relatively weak.
After experiencing a sharp decline, ETH has returned to the price level before the drop.
Altcoins also experienced a sharp decline last week but found some support at lower levels. However, there hasn't been a strong rebound yet. BTC may need to weaken before gaining any momentum.
