💼 H2cryptO Analysis

End-of-Week Profit Taking Emerges: Friday's modest decline reflects typical end-of-week positioning with reduced ETF flows signaling temporary institutional pause after recent heavy accumulation. Ether's first negative flows (-$26.4M) in recent sessions suggest profit-taking on recent gains, while Bitcoin maintains resilience above $106K despite $226.7M reduced inflows compared to recent days.

Bitcoin Season
Only 20% of top 100 coins outperformed Bitcoin in 90 days
The index uses the top 100 coins ranked on CMC (excluding stablecoins and wrapped tokens) and compares them based on their rolling 90-day price performances. If 75% of the top 100 coins outperform Bitcoin in the last 90 days, it's Altcoin Season. If only 25% or fewer outperform Bitcoin, it's Bitcoin Season.

📊 Lead Story

Friday Profit-Taking Emerges as Ether ETFs Record First Outflows in Recent Sessions

Digital asset markets experienced modest Friday weakness as profit-taking sentiment emerged following this week's institutional accumulation phase, with Bitcoin declining 0.43% to $106,848 and Ether falling 0.89% to $2,407. ETF flows significantly reduced to $200.3 million total, marking the lowest daily institutional demand in recent sessions, while Ether ETFs recorded their first negative flows at -$26.4 million, suggesting profit-taking on recent gains despite Bitcoin ETFs maintaining positive $226.7 million inflows.

The pullback represents typical end-of-week positioning rather than structural concern, with Bitcoin maintaining support above $106K and most altcoins posting minimal declines. The Altcoin Season Index improved to 20 from Thursday's 19, continuing gradual recovery from recent extreme Bitcoin dominance levels, while Fear & Greed sentiment edged lower to 49 from yesterday's perfect neutral reading. The S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index declined 0.53% on the day, pushing YTD performance to -2.13% as broader market digests recent gains.
