Cryptocurrency markets recorded notable divergence in weekly performance, with prices reflecting a mood of caution and wait-and-see sentiment that prevailed among investors.
These moves came as markets closely monitored prominent geopolitical developments on the international scene, most notably the reaching of an agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war, which cast a shadow over risk appetite in global financial markets.
Traders also continued to follow monetary policy developments closely in the wake of the US Federal Reserve's latest decision and the hawkish signals it issued regarding interest rates, adding further pressure on digital assets and pushing them to move within divergent ranges.
In terms of performance details, Bitcoin posted a slight decline of 0.06%, falling from $63,470 the previous week to $63,299 in current trading. Ethereum, by contrast, managed to register gains, rising from its previous level of $1,661 to $1,706, recording growth of 3.50%.
Solana was the standout performer in terms of upside this week, surging 7.06% as its price climbed from $66.57 to $69.
On the other side, Dogecoin faced clear selling pressure that dragged it down 4.34%, with its value falling from $0.0863 the previous week to $0.0833 currently. In a separate context, XRP (Ripple) maintained its gains, holding up 1.25%.
