Meanwhile, altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and others are what we usually call “crypto.” Bitcoin, on the other hand, has become its own financial class 🪙✨

Bitcoin has slipped below $108,000, losing steam after its strong October rally. The asset is now trading between major moving averages, with crucial support and resistance levels drawing market attention.
