BTC printed a clean breakdown through the $80,000 handle during London hours, now trading $79,722 — a psychologically significant breach that attracted systematic selling. ETH followed directionally but held relative composure above $2,450, suggesting BTC-led pressure rather than broad risk-off capitulation. SOL and XRP diverged materially, both sustaining trending-bull regimes with ADX readings above 25, indicating genuine structural momentum decoupled from BTC noise. The $80K loss on a Saturday session — typically thin liquidity — amplifies the signal; this was not a stop-hunt that immediately recovered.
