This weekend, the cryptocurrency market showed many highlights. Aside from geopolitical disturbances, the overall sentiment was more positive.

In terms of asset allocation, Bitcoin's market share is declining, while altcoins and Ethereum are gaining more attention, with their proportions steadily increasing. Trading activity has also picked up, with both Asia and the Americas maintaining good levels of activity. The most direct signal is the net inflow of funds across the entire market—approximately 900 million USD over the weekend, with USDC performing the best, increasing by 197 million USD, reflecting a gradual return of funds to the US.

On the technical side, Bitcoin on the weekly chart shows an engulfing pattern, which is generally seen as a bullish signal. Overall, if we temporarily set aside the interference of geopolitical risks, the current situation is indeed leaning positive. The market sentiment after Monday's opening is worth continuing to watch.

The net inflow of 900 million looks impressive, but based on historical governance proposal voting records, the confidence that this rebound on Monday can hold is still quite low.

9 billion net inflow sounds good, but why does this rebound feel a bit fake? Are altcoins about to take off? I remain skeptical... The market opens on Monday, what’s coming will come eventually, let’s wait and see. Bitcoin engulfing pattern? Alright, I bet it will plunge on Monday. What does the surge in USDC indicate? Are big players about to dump? Geopolitical risks are always a trap. Ethereum is about to be overtaken by altcoins again, this script is really tired. Net capital inflow doesn’t mean much, I see it as just false fire.

9 billion net inflow is indeed impressive, but to be honest, I'm a bit worried about whether the market will be hammered down again at Monday's open. The signal of US capital returning is good, just please don't play the geopolitical game anymore, it's really annoying. Altcoins are surging so strongly, it feels like the usual trick before a wipeout, everyone should be cautious. Engulfing pattern? Sounds good, but I just want to know how high this wave can go. USDC has increased by 200 million, it seems the US market is really slowly coming back. When Bitcoin's market share declines, it's usually not a good sign. Is this time different? The weekend was indeed lively, but I'm just afraid that a cold shower will be poured on Monday, typical routine. Asia and the Americas are both active? Then let's wait and see who runs away first haha. It's a bit too optimistic to talk positively now; can geopolitical risks really disappear just like that? Net capital inflow is good, but is it real money or just more speculation?

Is the altcoin season coming? BTC's share drops while USDC surges, it looks like Uncle Sam is about to re-enter the market.

hmm, usdc pumping while btc dominance crumbles... technically speaking that's either a bullish alt szn or retail fomo energy, hard to tell which without deeper audit. the engulfing candle looks clean on paper but geopolitical noise has this paranoid side of me skeptical. let's see what monday actually does, not just the pattern.

Uh, can’t we avoid dropping on Monday? These numbers look pretty comfortable. --- Altcoins taking off? I feel like they’re still sleeping. --- 9 billion net inflow sounds good, but I don’t know if it will all be dumped on Monday. --- Engulfing pattern? Last time I heard this, I got trapped. Can I trust it this time? --- Return of US funds + USDC surge, it seems like someone is really taking over. --- When geopolitical risks hit, prices drop again. Can we have a couple of quiet days, please? --- Is the altseason really here? Or are they just cutting us retail investors again? --- The weekly chart looks comfortable, but I have a feeling Monday’s open will slap me in the face. --- 9 billion sounds like a lot, but when divided, it’s not much. What can this amount of money do? --- Wait, is the decline in Bitcoin’s market share a good thing? I don’t quite understand this logic.

9 billion net inflow sounds good, but I wonder if it will be hit back by geopolitical risks again on Monday... --- The engulfing pattern has appeared. Can it really go up this time? There have been many "positive signals" before. --- Is the altcoin season coming? Or is it just another prelude to cutting leeks? Who can tell for sure? --- USDC backflow is indeed interesting, but US regional fund return ≠ mainstream fund return, there's a difference. --- 9 billion sounds like a lot, but when divided among the entire market, it’s not much. Is that enough to call it positive? --- I’ll be waiting to see the joke when the market opens on Monday. The weekend’s gains were all for nothing. --- Bitcoin’s market share dropping a bit is a little alarming. What are they brewing? --- Net fund inflow doesn’t mean the bottom, everyone. Don’t get too excited. --- Talking about geopolitical risks again, so don’t talk about positive signals anymore. That’s just nonsense. --- Altcoins are becoming active. Should I be happy or run away?
