> From Expansion to Digestion
Last week felt like momentum building.
This week felt like the market taking a breath.
The correction wasn’t random.
It was overdue.
Market cap pulled back, Fear & Greed slid into fear territory, and RSI dipped deep into oversold levels.
That combination usually signals forced selling, not long-term trend failure.
What matters more is where prices are now.
Bitcoin hovering around $87K and Ethereum around $2.8K are not arbitrary levels.
These are zones that need to hold to preserve higher-timeframe structure.
So far, they are holding barely, but meaningfully.
The most under-discussed driver this week wasn’t crypto-native at all.
It was currency markets.
The Fed preparing to sell U.S. dollars and buy Japanese yen is not a small headline.
That’s a level of intervention we haven’t seen in decades.
Rate checks by the New York Fed are the same step taken before actual intervention.
That tells you stress is showing up somewhere deeper in the system.
Sunday’s move wiped $100B from the crypto market in a single day.
That wasn’t panic selling by retail.
That was leverage getting reset.
And resets, while painful, are usually necessary.
> Why This Correction Might Be Constructive
Altcoin Season metrics barely moved despite the drawdown.
That’s important.
It tells us capital didn’t flee crypto.
It just de-risked temporarily.
Narratives like privacy, Game-Fi, and prediction markets are still showing relative strength.
Even during corrections, builders are being rewarded faster than pure speculation.
If BTC and ETH hold their current zones, this pullback could end up being the foundation for the next leg, not the start of a deeper unwind.
