Bitcoin Holds $65K as Altcoins Start to Rally

Bitcoin is holding onto the $65,000 mark after a week of mixed market signals. While the asset faced pressure from geopolitical tensions and legislative setbacks in the US Senate, it found support following a weak US jobs report. This data suggests the Federal Reserve may hold off on interest rate hikes in September, which provided enough momentum for Bitcoin to recover lost ground.

Despite the broader market moving sideways, some smaller assets are making significant moves. Bitway is a standout performer, having surged 20 percent in the last day and entering the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Other assets like WLD and PUMP have also posted gains of around 13 percent, signaling that some traders are shifting focus toward high performing altcoins while waiting for Bitcoin to choose a clearer direction.

Most large cap assets remain quiet for now. Ethereum, BNB, and Solana show only minor movement, reflecting a wait and see approach among institutional investors. Total crypto market capitalization sits near $2.3 trillion as the industry looks ahead for more volatility in the coming days.
