Solana\u2019s SOL and xrp (XRP) edged up 5% in the past 24 hours to lead gains among majors Saturday as bitcoin (BTC) saw resistance at the $84,000 price level.<\/p>\n

SOL surged 7% as a contentious SIMD-0228 drew to a close late Thursday in favor of those against it, keeping its current inflation schedule intact. The proposal drew the highest voting turnout in Solana\u2019s governance history, as reported<\/a>, with those against saying a passage could disrupt parts of its flourishing DeFi ecosystem and dispel chances of further institutional interest.<\/p>\n

XRP rose 5% following a strong week for closely-related Ripple Labs, which bagged a payments license in the UAE and, per sources<\/a>, is said to be on track for a close of its long-running court case against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, memecoins caught a bid on Friday as pepecoin (PEPE), toshi (TOSHI), dogecoin (DOGE) and other memes rose as much as 40%, providing volatility for traders amid a mostly flat market.<\/p>\n

Base-based TOSHI jumped 38%, leading gains, with PEPE up as much as 12% before paring gains in European afternoon hours. Meanwhile, Base-based KEYCAT jumped more than 100% as developers announced a partnership with Acheron Trading as its official market maker \u2014 aiming to boost liquidity and expand the token\u2019s presence on exchanges.<\/p>\n

The broader memecoin rally reflects a shift in trader behavior as bitcoin (BTC) trades sideways, pushing speculators toward higher-risk, higher-reward assets.<\/p>\n

BTC ended the week down 3%, faring slightly better than the past two weeks where extreme volatility saw it bounce between $75,000 and $95,000 \u2014 bringing it down as much as 20% from a Jan. peak above $108,000.<\/p>\n

As such, traders continue to eye macroeconomic factors and rate cut decision for cues on further positioning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recent cooling in inflation strengthens the case for potential rate cuts later this year,\u201d Agne Linge, head of Growth at WeFi, told CoinDesk in a email. \u201cHowever, escalating geopolitical and economic tensions particularly from the ongoing trade war add complexity to the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin has experienced intense whipsaw price action over the past two weeks, fluctuating between $79K and $85K amid heightened macroeconomic uncertainty. Its rapid on-off price dynamics reflect its increasing sensitivity to macroeconomic factors\u2014suggesting that Bitcoin is behaving more like a risk-on asset than a traditional store of value. This volatility is likely to persist in the coming weeks as geopolitical tensions and macro-uncertainties continue to drive market sentiment,\u201d Linge added.<\/p>\n

Alex Kuptsikevich, FxPro chief market analyst, told CoinDesk in an email that a strong break above the $89,000 level should be watched by traders looking to turn bullish.\u201cOnly if the market breaks above its 200-day moving average will we be able to take it as a signal of a return to growth. For now, the market dynamics resemble no more than just a bumpy downtrend,\u201d Kuptsikevich said. \u201cBears are regaining control of the market on bounces to the $83,500 area.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
