<h3 id="a-week-defined-by-rotation-not-broad-market-strength">A Week Defined by Rotation, Not Broad Market Strength</h3>
<p>The distribution of gains suggests the current rally is rotation-driven, with capital flowing into selective high-beta assets rather than lifting the entire market. Layer-1 revival plays, interoperability networks, and fan-engagement tokens saw the strongest traction, while larger-cap assets remained comparatively muted.</p>
<p>As volatility remains elevated, traders will be watching whether this momentum continues into next week or fades as profit-taking accelerates across the top performers.</p>
