Jul 20 - 26, 2026
At the July 26 02:00 UTC cutoff, the crypto market stood at $2.287 trillion, down 0.6% from the $2.300 trillion snapshot on July 19. Bitcoin was near $64,404, down 0.5% over seven days, while Ethereum rose 0.9% to about $1,877. Bitcoin dominance edged down 0.1 percentage point to 56.5%, and 24-hour market volume was $38.9 billion, 3.4% above the July 19 reading. The underlying snapshots differ by $13.3 billion in total market capitalization: the market recovered 0.7% in the final 24 hours but did not erase the week's loss. Large-cap returns were tightly grouped. XRP added 0.5%, Solana lost 1.0%, and Hyperliquid fell 3.4%, leaving Ethereum as the only major asset in the screen with a gain above 0.5%. The daily snapshot series peaked at $2.344 trillion on July 22 before falling to $2.272 trillion on July 25, then recovering to the Sunday cut. That sequence points to a market that remained liquid enough to rebound but did not establish broad follow-through. The $100 million-plus CoinGecko screen was led by Lorenzo Protocol at 250.1%, GRX Chain at 62.7%, and Zama at 55.4%. DeXe lost 88.3%, Midnight fell 29.1%, and eCash declined 22.4%. Those extremes were concentrated outside the largest assets, so the weekly tape combined a small market-wide decline with unusually large token-specific dispersion.

Jul 13 - 19, 2026
The crypto market added 0.6% over the week, lifting total capitalization from $2.280 trillion on July 12 to $2.295 trillion at the July 19 cut. Bitcoin finished near $64,717, up 1.0% over seven days, while Ethereum rose 2.9% to about $1,858. Trading volume fell 18.1% from the prior Sunday snapshot, and Bitcoin dominance increased 0.3 percentage points to 56.6%, leaving the market modestly higher but still concentrated in BTC. The weekly path was uneven: production snapshots recorded total capitalization at $2.236 trillion on July 14, then $2.307 trillion on July 16, before the final $2.295 trillion reading. Ethereum outperformed Bitcoin, but Solana fell 1.5%, XRP slipped 0.4%, and Hyperliquid dropped 9.0%. Only Ethereum exceeded Bitcoin's 1.0% gain among those four major assets, so large-cap performance did not broaden across the group. The 250-asset CoinGecko screen was led by eCash at 82.5%, BUILDon at 61.9%, and Unibase at 38.4%, while Bonk lost 30.6% and Telcoin fell 19.4%. Bitcoin's $64,717 close and the $37.3 billion 24-hour volume reading are the two immediate comparison points for the next week because the latter is 18.1% below the July 12 snapshot.

Jun 29 - Jul 5, 2026
Crypto markets recovered during the week of June 29 to July 5 after the late-June break below $60,000. CoinGecko data at the Sunday cut showed Bitcoin near $62,846, Ethereum near $1,765, and Solana near $80.74. The reconstructed seven-day move across the top 250 assets by market cap was about +4.8%, or about +5.6% after excluding major stablecoins, while BTC dominance slipped by about 0.2 percentage points inside that same top-250 screen. The major-asset split improved sharply from the prior week. Bitcoin gained about 4.5%, Ethereum rose about 12.2%, Solana gained about 14.4%, XRP rose about 9.1%, Hyperliquid gained about 11.3%, and Cardano led the large-cap group with a 31.4% rebound. BNB, TRON, and Dogecoin were positive but lagged the high-beta recovery. That pattern points to a relief rally led by oversold altcoins rather than a Bitcoin-only repair. The dominant theme was a cautious breadth rebound. ETF inflows returned late in the week, Ethereum and Solana outperformed Bitcoin, and tokenized stock news kept real-world assets in focus. The caution comes from the quality of the leaderboard: The Black Bull, MemeCore, Nexus, TAC, and Humanity led the liquid screen, while several prior momentum winners reversed hard. The market repaired price damage, but confirmation now depends on whether inflows and macro data can keep liquidity above the week's reset level.

Jun 22 - 28, 2026
Crypto markets ended the week of June 22 to 28 in a defensive position. CoinGecko data at the Sunday cut showed Bitcoin near $60,148, Ethereum near $1,574, and Solana near $70.76. The reconstructed seven-day move across the top 250 assets by market cap was about -5.6%, or about -6.4% after excluding major stablecoins, while BTC dominance was near 55.8%. That mix points to broad deleveraging rather than a narrow Bitcoin-only decline. The major-asset split was weak across most of the screen. Bitcoin lost about 6.3% over seven days, Ethereum fell about 9.3%, XRP lost about 8.6%, Cardano fell about 10.8%, Dogecoin lost about 10.9%, and Hyperliquid dropped about 11.8%. Solana and TRON held up better but still finished negative. Avalanche was the main large-cap exception in the Sunday snapshot, up about 2.3% for the week. The dominant theme was a failed support test. Bitcoin broke below the $60,000 area during the week and did not generate a clean risk-on response from ETH or high-beta majors. Rotation still existed in individual names such as Velvet, Solstice, BNB Attestation Service, Audiera, and DeXe, but the broader message was caution: liquidity favored isolated momentum and defensive positioning while gaming, AI, and several mid-cap narratives absorbed heavy losses.
