Bullish

BTC wey don reclaim an dey hold above $80K na di main signal for short-term. Di summaries talk say BTC dominance climb reach 58.5%, we fit stop wide alt rallies, but e still show say BTC dey act as liquidity magnet as traders dey selectively rotate into stronger high-beta names. Di catalyst from Iran peace headlines improve risk sentiment and e jam with multi-cap gains (ETH/XRP/BNB/SOL/DOGE and high-momentum alts like SKYAI). For short term, dis setup favour continuation trades for liquid, momentum-driven altcoins, with BTC as di “tape” wey must remain supported. For long term, if BTC continue to hold above $80K while dominance stabilises rather than spike more, market fit sustain rotation regime instead of return to choppy, policy-driven swings. Big risk be say if BTC momentum fade and e break back below di $80K area, di selective rotation fit quick unwind, turn di same flow into downside pressure on altcoins.
