Bitcoin broke above $64,700 while Ethereum continues its recovery with a nearly 1% gain in the past 24 hours. The total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.30 trillion, with a daily trading volume of $55.8 billion.
Bitcoin (BTC) — slow crawl upward
Bitcoin is trading around $64,725 on Monday, up 0.58% in the last 24 hours. The daily range saw a low of $63,743 and a high of $64,979, suggesting a tentative push toward the $65,000 level.
BTC’s market cap sits at $1.30 trillion, with dominance dipping to 56.4%. Daily trading volume amounts to $24.3 billion. Out of the 21 million total supply, 20.06 million BTC are already in circulation, leaving fewer than 940,000 yet to be mined.
The all-time high of $126,080 (October 2025) remains 48.7% away — plenty of room to grow, at least in theory. For those who bought at the top, it’s been a long wait. As Clint Eastwood would say: “A man’s got to know his limitations” — and $65,000 is that line for now.
Ethereum (ETH) — second wind
Ethereum posted a solid session, climbing to $1,882 (+0.87%). Daily range: $1,845 — $1,892. ETH’s market cap is $227.1 billion, with a 24-hour volume of $9.6 billion.
Ethereum is slowly recovering from weeks of declines and attempting to close above the psychological $1,900 level. The ATH of $4,946 (August 2025) looks like a distant horizon — akin to staring at Mount Everest from a beach in Dubrovnik. Doable, but it requires serious gear and patience.
Notably, the circulating supply of 120.68 million ETH remains in mild inflation, but recent network changes are adding new layers to the “ultra sound money” narrative.
Altcoins — Solana leads, Zcash sinks
Solana (SOL) is one of the few showing genuine signs of life. At $76.96 (+1.30%), it’s the best performer among the top 10. SOL’s market cap is $44.8 billion, with daily volume of $1.58 billion.
XRP holds at $1.10 (+0.76%), while BNB inches up to $570 (+0.50%). Dogecoin (DOGE) at $0.0728 (+0.47%) — still dreaming of its glory days from 2021.
On the flip side, Zcash (ZEC) is having a rough day, dropping 3.12% to $538. Rain (RAIN) loses 2.24% to $0.01424 after sliding from its ATH of $0.0161 (June 22). TRON (TRX) is in a slight 0.39% dip at $0.326.
Overall, the market is split: 53% of the top 100 coins are in the green, 47% in the red — a dance floor where half the crowd is waltzing and the other half is breakdancing.
Macro & sentiment
Hyperliquid (HYPE) continues its dance at $61.21 (+0.30%), with a market cap of $13.6 billion and a fully diluted valuation of $58.5 billion. For those who bought at the ATH of $76.70 (June 16, 2026), it’s like looking in the rearview mirror — the past is the past, but hope dies last.
Stablecoins (USDT, USDC, USDS) are pegged at $0.999 with a combined capitalization of $267 billion. That’s nearly 12% of the entire market, meaning plenty of sidelined capital is ready to jump in (or run for the exits) at a moment’s notice.
Bitcoin dominance at 56.4% suggests altseason is still not in sight. Ethereum dominance at 9.9% is nudging upward but remains far from levels analysts once predicted for “the flippening.”
Technical outlook
BTC tested $65,000 and bounced off, leaving that level as key resistance. If bulls manage to break through, the next stop is $66,500. On the downside, support at $63,700 held firm and looks solid for now.
ETH needs a close above $1,900 to confirm recovery. Below $1,845 the picture gets complicated, but for now it looks like a standard accumulation phase — the quiet before a larger move.
Bottom line
Monday brings cautious optimism. BTC and ETH are in the green, Solana is showing strength, and the market as a whole is eying dollar levels that could define the week. The question remains: will bulls muster enough force to breach $65,000, or will bears steal the show in the latter half of the week?
Time will tell. For now, grab the popcorn and watch the charts.
