Bitcoin traded around $91,300 in Asian morning hours, up about 1.4% on the day and more than 4% over seven days. Ether rose roughly 1% to near $3,150 and is up about 7% on the week, while solana gained about 1.6% and has climbed more than 8% over seven days. XRP hovered just above $2, rising about 0.6% on the day and nearly 10% over the week, while cardano was modestly higher on the day and up about 8% in seven days.

The move followed a sharp liquidation flush that cleared crowded positioning and reset near term leverage.

Data showed roughly $180 million in futures positions liquidated over the past 24 hours, with about $133 million coming from shorts and $47 million from longs. The imbalance suggests traders were caught leaning against the rally, forcing buybacks as prices pushed higher.
