  • Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $103,700, inching closer to its record high, fueled by positive market sentiment.
  • Ethereum (ETH) leads the pack with a 32% weekly gain, thanks to the successful Pectra network upgrade and optimistic global economic indicators.

  • Daily crypto market liquidations exceeded $1.1 billion, with Ethereum short traders bearing the brunt of the market's upward movement.

Meme Coins and Beyond:

While Dogecoin shines, other meme coins like Moo Deng (MOODENG) and Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) have seen even more dramatic gains, with MOODENG nearly tripling in price this week.

Why Ethereum is Outperforming Bitcoin:

Analysts point to Ethereum's flawless technical upgrade and hopeful global economic signs as key drivers behind its explosive gains, suggesting significant upside potential after a period of stagnation.
