Neutral
The modest gains in major indices and the outperformance of crypto stocks reflect a stable market environment with cautious risk appetite. Past sessions have shown similar movements when macro signals are mixed, resulting in limited volatility for crypto stocks. The lack of significant catalysts suggests a neutral outlook for both short-term trading and longer-term trends.
