Neo led weekly gainers with a 7.8% advance. Loopring fell 6.2%, the top loser, as selling pressure continues after the project shut down its decentralized exchange and relayer in late June.

What to Watch

• BTC at $64,578 needs support confirmation, with market data showing a 1.0% gain.
• Fear & Greed at 28 signals sentiment weakness, with the index remaining below neutral.
• Market capitalization rose 0.8%, so traders should track whether liquidity expands.
• BTC momentum depends on $64,578 holding while daily gains remain at 1.0%.
• Next 24 hours require volume confirmation because BTC’s 1.0% move lacks broader proof.
