#Bitcoin briefly approached $70,000 before retreating to about $68,300, underscoring a failed attempt to reclaim a key resistance level. #Altcoins including $ETH , $SOL , cardano and dogecoin significantly outperformed $BTC , signaling renewed risk appetite and a rotation into higher-beta tokens. Despite the short-term bounce, analysts warn that fragile macro conditions, stagnant stablecoin supply and the risk of cascading liquidations below $60,000 leave bitcoin's medium-term outlook uncertain.
