Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin commands $78,099 after a 2.7% weekly rise, demonstrating cautious strength—but still trails the $80,000 level, which it hasn't breached since March. Volumes remain 18% above the 30-day average, signaling steady accumulation. This performance is more resilient than #2 Ethereum's modest 0.3% gain this week, underscoring BTC's role as the market anchor despite the psychological resistance.
