ETH hits all-time highs, giving altcoins their moment in the spotlight as Bitcoin consolidates just below its “worst-case scenario” monthly close target.
Bitcoin (BTC) preserved $61,000 into the weekend after “aggressive” buying on Coinbase sparked multi-day highs.
Coinbase BTC buyers step up
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD cooling overnight after briefly challenging $63,000.
Friday saw strong performance after United States traditional markets opened, helping lift Bitcoin to near its minimum monthly close target.
As analysts noted, major exchange Coinbase was the venue for heavy accumulation on the day.

Popular trader and analyst Pentoshi, meanwhile, noted selling elsewhere, specifically from one whale whose BTC divesting has now hit over 1,000 BTC, each sold on the open market in batches of 20–30 BTC.
“Just goes to show how liquid this market is now,” he summarized.
Both the weekly and monthly close on Sunday will be a source of interest for market participants, with the latter seeing a potential all-time high. BTC/USD may also close its third week in a row above $60,000.
Altcoin market cap passes all-time highs
For many, however, it was all about altcoins as the weekend began.

Strong performance remained elsewhere, with Shiba Inu (SHIB) steadying after its blistering gains throughout the week.
