$BTC Market Overview: The crypto market is showing mixed signals, with a total market cap fluctuating between $3.6–$3.8 trillion. Traders are pulling liquidity, shifting focus to micro-cap tokens, but a summer lull may persist due to low trading volumes and increased volatility.

- Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin is hovering around $114,000, stuck in a low-liquidity "air gap" between $110,000 and $116,000. It faces resistance as long-term holders take profits, raising concerns about potential downside if demand doesn’t recover.
