Total crypto market value hovered near $2.29 trillion, while Bitcoin dominance stayed above 56%.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bitcoin reclaims $64K after Friday\u2019s pullback<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin started June under pressure after falling from $73,000 to near $59,100 within five days. Buyers later defended lower levels and helped the asset recover to $64,000 before another rally attempt pushed BTC to $67,200 earlier in the week.<\/p>\n<p>That move faded after the FOMC meeting, and Bitcoin fell below $62,400 by Friday. The weekend rebound lifted the asset to about $64,400 before sellers slowed the move. Bulls now need a clean move above $67,000, while a failure to hold $62,000 would bring $60,000 back into focus.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Large-cap altcoins remain mixed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Most major altcoins moved slowly over the past 24 hours. Ethereum traded near $1,730, while BNB held close to $589. Solana was stronger, rising above $73 as buyers returned.<\/p>\n<p>XRP stayed near $1.15, while Cardano slipped around 1%. Hyperliquid also moved lower after a strong weekly run. Chainlink was almost flat, showing that the weekend bid did not spread evenly across major tokens.<\/p>\n<p>The mixed action shows that traders remain selective. A few tokens found buyers, but the market did not show broad risk-taking across large-cap assets. Bitcoin remains the main guide for market direction.<\/p>\n<p>If BTC holds $64,000 and challenges $67,000 again, large-cap altcoins could see more relief. A rejection would keep the market focused on support levels and short-term liquidity.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>LAB and AERO stand out<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>LAB was the strongest name in the weekend market watch, rising more than 28% on the day. The token traded above $15 after a monthly gain of about 230%, bringing it close to the top 20 altcoins by market value.<\/p>\n<p>AERO also extended its strong week. The token gained about 10% over 24 hours and roughly 50% on the week, helping it enter the top 100 altcoins.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/lab?chart=type%3Dprice%26mode%3Dline%26timeframe%3Dh24%26coins%3Daerodrome-finance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">CoinGecko<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These moves stood out because most of the market stayed flat. The gains looked more like isolated strength than a full altcoin rally. Narrow rallies can reverse quickly if Bitcoin loses support or if liquidity leaves smaller tokens.<\/p>\n<p>For now, LAB and AERO remain the weekend\u2019s clearest winners. Their gains gave traders pockets of activity while the larger crypto market waited for a clearer signal.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Traders watch ETF flows and macro risk<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier today, crypto.news reported that Bitcoin was watching ETF outflows and Hormuz risk as two key pressure points. Galaxy Research also said U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $6.35 billion in net outflows over the latest 30-day window.<\/p>\n<p>Macro news may decide the next short-term move. A durable U.S.-Iran ceasefire could ease oil worries and support risk assets. A real closure of the Strait of Hormuz could raise oil prices and pressure crypto again.<\/p>\n<p>ETF flows also remain important. Stronger inflows could support Bitcoin\u2019s next attempt at $67,000, while more outflows would make the rebound harder to sustain.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the crypto market looks stable but uneven. Bitcoin has reclaimed $64,000, LAB and AERO are leading altcoin gains, and traders are waiting for stronger confirmation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
