1. 🧊 Bitcoin($BTC ) immediately corrected slightly to ~$117K
Due to expectations of higher interest rates for a longer period (higher for longer)
2. 💵 US Dollar strengthens → institutional investors are a bit cautious on risk assets
3. 🪙 Altcoins are moving sideways as institutional funds remain dominant in BTC/ETF
4. 🤔 Meme & AI coins remain volatile, but volume is down
