## 🔍 What’s Driving Markets

**BTC Weekly Rejection After ATH Sweep**  
• BTC surged to \~$110K, sweeping liquidity above ATHs

• Weekly close above **$112K** would invalidate the pullback thesis

**Altcoin Outlook Still Weak**  
• A few names have outperformed (RWA, AI), but the majority of alts continue to lag  
• No broad signs of rotation — **no altseason in sight**

**Regulatory Signals Heating Up**
