Rotation is Back on the Menu.
The altcoin table finally got a reservation.
ETH is starting to show the kind of relative strength that makes traders glance away from BTC for more than three seconds, which in this market basically counts as romance. But rotation is not confirmed just because one plate came out hot. It has to hold, and BTC still needs to threaten $80K before the whole table starts ordering risk again.
TODAY'S MENU
BTC $79,805 (+0.14%) — , annoying, still pinned under the $80K pass.
ETH $2,507 (+2.13%) — Cleaner appetite after reclaiming $2,500.
Fear & Greed — 73 (Greed) — The room is hungry; sloppy entries get expensive.
Macro Watch — DXY 99.157 — Dollar pressure is contained, not dead; the stove is on low, not off.
Flow Signal — BTC ETFs saw about 987M dollars of weekly inflows — Helpful bid, but body-only seasoning.

BTC 4H — $80K Reclaim Still Unpaid
BTC Daily Tape: +0.14% (O $79,823 | H $80,104 | L $79,726 | C $79,805)
Support: $78,000 | Resistance: $80,000 | Bias: Neutral repair below $80K
ETH 4H — $2,500 Reclaim Gets A Seat

Support: $2,500 | Resistance: $2,600 | Bias: Constructive reclaim above $2,500
CHEF'S CHOICE
Selective Appetite Is Not A Breakout
The main story is the split plate: BTC is compressed under failed $80K acceptance, while ETH is trying to hold a cleaner reclaim above $2,500. Not bearish sludge. Not an all-table feast either.
ETH has the better momentum stack: 1H RSI near 65, positive MACD, and price above the short EMAs. BTC is above its deeper EMA stack too, but the 1H read is flatter and the $80K rejection keeps the dish under the heat lamp. Bias is neutral-to-constructive, with an asterisk written in hot sauce.
The market gave us improvement, not permission to chase every green candle like it owes us money. That is the useful tension: one side of the table is ordering, the other is still checking the bill. Until that changes, patience beats chest-thumping.
COOKING LESSON
ETH doesn’t need to lead forever. It just needs to stop lagging first.
Relative strength starts quietly. Before ETH becomes the main dish, it usually has to prove it can hold its shelf better than BTC during chop. If ETH stops bleeding against BTC, that’s your first hint the rotation menu might finally be changing.
THE TAKE
The setup is better, but the market did not plate the whole meal. ETH gave buyers something to chew on; the $80K bill still has to get paid before this becomes more than a selective boun
