What Happened: The world's leading cryptocurrency dipped to an intraday low of $115,765.69 before recovering to $117,000 overnight. The sharp retreat from recent highs coincided with high profitability, with nearly 99% of Bitcoin's supply now in profit, a historically rare event.

Bitcoin's market dominance fell from 63.6% to 62.9% in the last 24 hours, as capital rotated into Ethereum, whose share increased to 10.2%.
The so-called ‘Crypto Week' was off to a bumpy start as the House suspended votes on key cryptocurrency bills.
About $465 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with long positions accounting for more than 50%.
Bitcoin's open interest fell 1.15% in the last 24 hours, while Ethereum recorded a 6.33% spike. The "Greed" sentiment weakened in the last 24 hours, according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency trader Mercury compared Bitcoin's recent breakout above a key resistance level to similar occurrences in 2023 and 2024.
"Those breakouts saw us trade ~50% higher within the next ~2 months. This rally likely still has more legs to it," the analyst said.
Rekt Capital, another cryptocurrency market researcher, said Ethereum needs a clear break above 10% market dominance to enter a historically bullish phase.
