Bitcoin, ether rise as altcoins lag in low-volatility trade

Horse race, gallop. (marcelkessler/Pixabay)

Bitcoin and ether tick higher, but weak altcoin breadth, heavy liquidations and elevated options hedging suggest traders remain cautious.

알아야 할 것:

  • BTC trades near $67,000 and ETH near $1,970, with volatility fading after Feb. 5’s selloff.
  • Derivatives show stabilization, with open interest at $15.38 billion and funding positive
  • Elevated short-term implied volatility signals caution.
  • $218 million in liquidations and 97 of top 100 tokens in the red underscore fragile sentiment.
