Brief as of
Crypto advanced on Wednesday, with the total market cap at $2.62 trillion, up 1.93% over 24 hours. Bitcoin traded at $83,053, up 1.91%, and held 63.6% of that total. Forty-six of the 55 coins we track rose, one fell and eight held inside a percentage point. Ether climbed to $2,449.46, up 2.58%.
The total market cap stood at $2,624,761,447,727, up 1.93% over 24 hours and down 0.96% over the past seven days. Bitcoin traded at $83,053, up 1.91% on the day and down 0.82% on the week, holding dominance at 63.6%. Ether changed hands at $2,449.46, up 2.58%. Volume across the tracked market reached $119,742,285,473. The move recovers part of a session that slipped 1.58%, when Bitcoin traded at $81,444.
Breadth was broad. Of 55 tracked coins, 46 rose, one fell and eight held inside a percentage point. The major cohort, eight coins, averaged 2.08% with seven risers and no fallers. Meme names, five coins, averaged 4.22% and all five rose. The remaining 39 coins averaged 3.57%, with 34 risers and one faller. The gap between the meme cohort and the majors points to appetite running further out the risk curve than the largest caps.
Pyth Network led the day, trading at $0.080067, up 10.99%. It moved between $0.072027 and $0.081716 over 24 hours on $47,630,643 of volume, with an RSI of 64.8 and a trend reading of up. The 30-day change stands at 30.02%, while the seven-day change is -0.71%. No news item in the packet covers the move, so the numbers alone carry it: a strong day inside a flat week and a strong month.
Jupiter followed at $0.322259, up 9.38%, with an RSI of 64.1 and a seven-day change of -3.17%. Ethena traded at $0.204511, up 9.31%, on $412,403,133 of volume and a seven-day change of -4.24%. Aptos rose 9.19% to $0.839864, and its 30-day change reads 12.13%. NEAR Protocol gained 9.00% to $5.21 on $1,289,717,716 of volume, with a 30-day change of 18.37%. All five carry an up trend.
Monero was the day's only decliner of size, falling 4.18% to $585.49 after trading between $570.44 and $625.37. Its RSI reads 30.7 and its trend is flat; the seven-day change is still 4.84%, so the drop gives back part of a recent gain. Arbitrum held inside a percentage point at $0.191443, down 0.78%, with an RSI of 43.7 and a 30-day change of -11.77%. TRON also held inside a point at $0.330828, down 0.30%, and is down 3.67% over 30 days.
Technical breadth across 30 sampled coins shows one overbought reading, no oversold readings, 23 coins in an up trend and none in a down trend. Bitcoin's own RSI sits at 62.9 with an up trend and volatility printed at 0. Support at $82,875.20 and resistance at $83,089.90 sit almost at the same level, with the price trading between them. That mix reads as a calm, broadly trending tape rather than a stretched one.
Over seven days, Celestia leads at $0.63643, up 14.26%, followed by Worldcoin at $0.586662, up 14.01%, and Pepe at $0.00000453, up 8.29%. The weakest week belongs to Optimism at $0.132594, down 14.29%, then Immutable at $0.154458, down 11.30%, and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance at $0.198987, down 8.35%. USDT leads turnover at $49,684,110,572 against $119,742,285,473 total. Celestia appears on both the week's leaderboard and today's flat list.
The tape reads as a broad advance, not a narrow one. Forty-six of 55 coins rose, and the meme cohort's 4.22% average outpaced the majors' 2.08%, which points to appetite reaching past the largest caps. Bitcoin's 1.91% gain and 63.6% dominance kept the index anchored, while Ether's 2.58% ran slightly ahead. The technical picture supports the same reading: 23 of 30 sampled coins trend up, none trend down, and only one is overbought. Monero's 4.18% decline and RSI of 30.7 stand alone against that. The seven-day picture is quieter, with the total cap still down 0.96%, so today's move recovers ground rather than opening new range.
Yesterday's brief described a 1.58% slip with Bitcoin at $81,444; today's 1.91% gain puts the price back above that level, and support at $82,875.20 and resistance at $83,089.90 sit almost at the same level. Watch whether Bitcoin holds between them. Monero's RSI of 30.7 against a seven-day gain of 4.84% is the other divergence worth tracking, and Celestia's 14.26% week against a 0.22% day shows the week's leaders already stalling.
