Ethereum and Bitcoin were down by 9.91% and 7% respectively in the past week. Among the major altcoins, BNB, XRP, Solana, Tron, Dogecoin, Cardano, and Hyperliquid fell by more than 12% last week.

Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus said with U.S. yields elevated and liquidity gravitating toward equities ahead of key data, crypto markets appear set to remain range-bound until clearer signals emerge on policy and flows.

Avoid chasing green candles and keep position sizes conservative. If you are trading, use clear stop-losses below support and take partial profits into resistance. If you are investing, stagger buys and prioritise capital protection over speed, Subburaj further said.
