3. Cryptocurrency Intelligence: Bitcoin Defends $75.7K Support, Altcoins Floor Post Macro Volatility
Digital assets are consolidating following cross-asset adjustments triggered by spot ETF outflows and macroeconomic inflation data expectations. With the Crypto Fear & Greed Index hovering near 31 (Fear territory), foundational on-chain demand zones continue to hold across benchmark cryptocurrencies:
- Bitcoin (BTC): Consolidating near $75,700–$76,000, with strong institutional buyer accumulation absorbing sell pressure above the key $74,800–$75,000 support cushion. A push above $76,500 opens upside targets toward $78,000–$80,000.

- Solana (SOL): Hovering around $90.00–$92.00, establishing a solid accumulation floor backed by active decentralized network volume.
