Bitcoin Gives Back Ground
Bitcoin changes hands at $82,882, down 1.56% over 24 hours and 1.33% across the week. The session range runs from $82,318 to $84,340, and the asset sits 34.26% below its all-time high of $126,080. CoinDesk reports that bitcoin broke below $83,000 as oil jumped on an Iran strike-plan report, framing the move against macro headlines rather than crypto-specific flow.
The wider tape leans the same way. Global market capitalisation stands at $2.83T, down 3.92% in 24 hours, on $106.05B of total volume. Bitcoin dominance holds at 58.72%, so the drawdown is broad rather than a rotation out of altcoins alone.
Over a longer window, bitcoin is still up 7.23% across the last 600 hours, from $77,297 to $82,882, having ranged between $75,898 and $86,796 in that period.
Majors Mostly Lower, a Few Outliers
Ethereum trades at $2,570.29, down 1.77% on the day and 4.97% on the week. XRP is weaker at $1.41, off 4.30% in 24 hours and 6.66% over seven days. Solana sits at $115.43, down 2.71% daily. BNB and TRON buck the trend, up 0.21% and 0.49% respectively.
Among the larger movers, Bitway leads with a 13.20% daily gain at $1.38, and NEAR Protocol adds 8.41% to $5.42. On the downside, Pump.fun falls 6.15%, Zcash 5.68%, Ethena 4.94% and Uniswap 4.53%. Zcash has lost 12.84% over seven days.
Derivatives show calm positioning: funding on the OKX BTC-USDT swap is 0.0047% per eight hours, with open interest of $2.58B.
Sentiment and Network
The Fear and Greed index reads 64, labelled Greed, down from 71 yesterday. The desk sentiment gauge prints 53, Neutral. DeFi total value locked is $93.57B, with Ethereum at $52.42B ahead of Solana at $6.45B and Base at $6.24B.
Bitcoin network fees are flat at 1 sat/vB across all priority tiers, and difficulty sits 37.35% through its current adjustment period, with a projected change of 5.85% and 1,263 blocks remaining.
In headlines, CoinTelegraph reports former governor Andrew Cuomo saying crypto's heavy backing of Republicans alienated Democrats, while CoinDesk reports that crypto news site Cointelegraph is seeking a buyer after traffic fell. CoinDesk also covers Ethereum's Glamsterdam test nearing 200 million gas per block.
