BTC has slipped below $80,000 to $79,564, down 3.59% on the week, with ETH and SOL also in multi-day drawdowns, while a stronger dollar and broad macro softness remove the near-term bid, shifting yesterday's Mixed regime into a cleaner Risk-off posture with growing conviction.

Summary

BTC is trading at $79,564, off 1.59% in 24 hours and 3.59% over the week. ETH sits at $2,306.59 (down 2.35% / 5.10%), SOL at $100.43 (down 1.85% / 4.19%), and XRP at $1.28 (down 2.28% / 2.24%). The Fear & Greed index is exactly 50, Neutral, but the price action across the board reads more cautious than that number suggests. Yesterday the regime was Mixed with softening upside conviction; today the dollar strengthening (UUP +0.21%), gold selling off (GLD -0.65%), and S&P 500 slipping 0.52% have removed the macro cushion entirely. BNB is the lone relative holdout at $736.28, down only 1.03% on the day and actually up 1.15% on the week, which is a data point worth watching.

Market Pulse

Hyperliquid shows BTC open interest at $3.33B with the long/short ratio at 1.08, meaning longs are only modestly in control and funding at +0.0008% is essentially flat. That's not a crowded long being squeezed; it's a market that's leaking, not breaking. BTC dominance holding at 60% says the rotation into alts isn't happening yet. If BTC reclaims and closes above $80,000, the risk-off read softens; if it loses the current $79,564 level with any pickup in volume, the bear scenario activates.
