Odaily reports: Although the S&P 500 is near its all-time high, market breadth remains weak. As of Wednesday, 257 constituents of the S&P 500 had fallen below their 200-day moving average. In contrast, the crypto market has performed relatively strongly, with 88 of the top 100 tokens by market cap (including BTC and ETH) trading above their 200-day simple moving average (SMA), and most of them also above their 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. CoinDesk noted that most crypto assets, including BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL, remain significantly below their all-time highs. Dick Lo, founder and CEO of TDX Strategies, said institutional capital continues to flow in through ETFs, driving momentum in major crypto assets and some altcoins, and noted that the key level to watch for BTC is currently $90,000, with the 2026 high of $97,900 as a medium-term target. Bernardo Brites, co-founder and CEO of Trace Finance, said that funds are currently flowing in primarily through ETFs rather than stablecoins, making the market more prone to pullbacks. (CoinDesk)
