Market Outlook

The 1.52% increase in total crypto market capitalization reflects cautious optimism rather than a full risk-on breakout.

Bitcoin near the $89,000 level and Ethereum holding close to$3,000 suggest improving short-term sentiment, though confirmation is still needed.

A more constructive scenario would require BTC to hold above $91,200 and ETH to sustain momentum beyond $3,180. Failure to maintain current support levels could lead to renewed consolidation, keeping the broader crypto market range-bound in the near term.
