BTC dominance briefly surpassed 66% but has retreated to below 65% amidst the consolidation. Bulls face critical consolidation below $120,000 and resistance near $123,218. Support lies around the 20-day EMA ($111,841).

Bullish Fundamentals Sustain Rally

BTC ETFs saw their first back-to-back inflows exceeding $1 billion, reinforcing market sentiment for sustained growth.

Michael Saylor’s company added 4,225 BTC last Monday, bringing its total holdings to over 601,550 BTC, acquired at an average cost of approximately $111,827.

Momentum Shifts to Altcoins

Bitcoin’s pullback has created opportunities for altcoins. The breakdown of BTC dominance below the 66% mark is interpreted by some traders as a early signal for the potential onset of an “altseason,” analogous to seasonal patterns in traditional markets.

Several top altcoins are testing overhead resistance levels, suggesting the rally could spill over from Bitcoin.

S&P 500 Index (SPX)

The S&P 500 remains above the key $6,147 breakout level. Key support is monitored at $6,147. Breaching this level attracts scrutiny from aggressive bulls seeking to push the index towards $6,500.
