Danger signs for Bitcoin as retail abandons it to institutions: Sky Wee

As Bitcoinโ€™s price surges back into headlines, fueled by TradFi institutions and corporations gobbling up all the supply, so too have fears increased among decentralization purists.

Ethereum retakes 10% control of crypto market, but ETH bulls shouldn’t celebrate yet

Key takeaways: Ethereumโ€™s market dominance has hit overbought RSI levels not seen since May 2021, historically followed by major pullbacks. ETH/USD is showing a bearish divergence on the four-hour chart, hinting at a potential 10โ€“15% price correction.
