Bitcoin Stalls as Altcoins Weaken

Bitcoin is holding, but it’s not pushing. Every attempt higher is met with hesitation, and momentum is starting to flatten. This kind of pause usually isn’t random — it’s the market deciding its next direction.

Altcoins are already showing the strain. One by one, they’re slipping below short-term support, failing to follow BTC’s earlier strength. That divergence is important. When alts can’t keep up, risk appetite is quietly leaving the room.

If Bitcoin doesn’t reclaim momentum soon, expect more chop and selective downside across the alt space. Until BTC makes a clean, high-volume move, patience beats aggression. Tight risk, fewer trades, and eyes on dominance — that’s where the next signal forms.$BTC
