📉 Bitcoin (BTC)
Current Price: ~$109,250.00 (-1.1% in 24h)
Top News: Bitcoin is seeing a mild consolidation after yesterday's CPI-fueled breakout above $110,000. CoinDesk reports that short-term traders are booking profits as the market digests the rapid gains. Despite the pullback, the structure remains bullish, with analysts noting that holding above the $108,000 support level would confirm a healthy "bull flag" pattern ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting.
📈 Ethereum (ETH)
Current Price: ~$4,315.40 (+1.3% in 24h)
Top News: Ethereum continues to exhibit relative strength, defying Bitcoin's pullback to post new local highs. The Block highlights that the "Total Value Locked" (TVL) in Ethereum DeFi protocols has crossed the $120 billion mark for the first time since 2021. This resurgence is being driven by yield-seeking institutional capital that is front-running the expected interest rate cuts.
