Bitcoin held steady near $65,800 with a slight 0.3% drop over 24 hours but gained 7.4% for the week as investors shifted focus to altcoins. Uniswap's UNI surged 22.5% after a bullish price target from Standard Chartered, while other altcoins like Hyperliquid's HYPE and Solana also saw significant gains. The market awaits the Federal Reserve's first interest rate decision under new Chair Kevin Warsh, which could influence crypto trends. Meanwhile, lower oil prices and easing inflation concerns support risk assets, but bitcoin remains cautious amid geopolitical tensions and closely follows broader market moves.
