This week, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East caused a brief risk-off sentiment in the crypto market, pushing Bitcoin and altcoins lower before Bitcoin stabilized above $63,000. Protocol-based altcoins like DeXe (up 73%), Arbitrum (up 20%), and Lighter (up 5%) led gains, showing strong investor interest in fundamentally solid projects. Meanwhile, speculative tokens like Bonk, Audiera, and Jupiter faced declines, reflecting a market rotation toward stronger assets. The outlook remains cautious as some rallies show signs of exhaustion, but key resistance and support levels will guide next moves.
