Analysis:
The current movements suggest a cooling-off phase following sharp swings, with no strong catalysts steering the market in a clear direction. The limited pullback reflects a temporary balance between profit-taking and investor anticipation regarding global liquidity trends and monetary policy. Market sensitivity remains high to any macro developments, leaving cryptocurrencies vulnerable to swift moves in the coming period.
