Crypto spent Wednesday advancing, with the total market cap at $2.56 trillion, up 1.5% over 24 hours. Bitcoin traded at $80,835, up 1.55%, holding above the $79,591 it held a day earlier. Ether climbed to $2,351.27, up 1.97%. Thirty-five of the 55 tracked coins rose, two fell, and eighteen held inside a percentage point. Volume across the market totaled $94.1 billion.
The total market cap stood at $2.56 trillion, up 1.5% over 24 hours and down 2.05% across seven days. Bitcoin traded at $80,835, up 1.55%, with dominance at 63.6%. Ether changed hands at $2,351.27, up 1.97%. Volume across the market totaled $94.1 billion. Bitcoin's own seven-day change reads -2.17%. The advance lifted the whole board rather than a single corner of it.
Thirty-five of the 55 tracked coins rose, two fell, and eighteen held inside a percentage point. The majors cohort, eight coins, averaged 1.62% with six risers and no fallers. Meme names, five coins, averaged 3.94% with four risers and no fallers. The other 39 coins averaged 2.39%, with 25 risers and two fallers. The gap between the meme cohort and the majors is the widest of the three, and the two fallers sit entirely outside the major and meme groups.
Pepe led the board, trading at $0.00000477 for a 24-hour gain of 11.45%. Volume reached $499,388,116, the largest among the day's risers. Its RSI reads 66 with a trend marked up. The token ranged between $0.00000426 and $0.00000499 over the session. It is up 5.77% over seven days and 13.37% over 30, the only name among the day's leaders positive on both horizons. No news item in the packet covers the move.
Bitcoin Cash climbed to $297.80, up 6.31%, with an RSI of 71.9 and a seven-day gain of 4.51%. NEAR Protocol traded at $4.69, up 5.96%, on $502,493,553 of volume, though it remains down 5.60% over seven days. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance rose 4.80% to $0.181407 and The Graph added 3.82% to $0.02250034. The last two are down 24.04% and 31.00% over 30 days, so both are climbing from deep drawdowns.
Quant was the heaviest decliner, at $200.84, down 2.81%, after ranging between $196.73 and $210.13. It is still up 1.74% over seven days but down 25.13% over 30. Pyth Network slipped 1.65% to $0.072034 with an RSI of 40.6, the lowest among the movers, and a seven-day loss of 9.69%. Worldcoin eased 0.57% to $0.433942 and carries a 25.66% seven-day decline. Render gave back 0.44% to $1.67.
Of 30 sampled coins, four are overbought, none oversold, 19 trend up and three trend down. Bitcoin's RSI reads 58.2 with a trend marked up and volatility printed at zero. Support sits at $80,581.6 and resistance at $80,818.8, a narrow band the price trades above. The mix shows a tape with more upward structure than stretched positioning — four overbought names against no oversold ones.
Over seven days, Beam leads at $0.00336233, up 7.27%, followed by Pepe at 5.77% and Monero at $611.08, up 5.14%. On the other side, Worldcoin is down 25.66%, Aptos $0.69149 down 15.56%, and Celestia $0.53187 down 13.82%. Tether leads turnover at $41,268,282,256 against $94.1 billion total. Pepe is the only name appearing on both today's leaders and the week's leaders.
The shape here is a broad bounce inside a softer week. Thirty-five coins rose against two that fell, and the meme cohort's 3.94% average outpaced the majors' 1.62%, which reads as appetite for higher-beta names rather than a defensive bid. Yet the total market cap is still down 2.05% over seven days and Bitcoin is down 2.17%, so today's 1.5% gain recovers only part of that ground. Ether's 1.97% and Bitcoin's 1.55% moved together, with dominance steady at 63.6%. The technical breadth — 19 uptrends against three downtrends, four overbought and no oversold — points to a market leaning upward without being stretched. Pepe's 11.45% gain and its positive 7-day and 30-day readings sit apart from the other risers, most of which are still working off deeper losses.
Bitcoin held $79,591 a day ago and trades at $80,835 now, a second straight session of holding above $80,000, with support at $80,581.6 and resistance at $80,818.8 close together. Quant, yesterday's leader at 6.77%, gave back 2.81% today. Bitcoin Cash's RSI of 71.9 is the highest among the risers and sits near the overbought count of four. Worldcoin's 25.66% seven-day decline remains the weakest reading on the board.
