Recurring claims
  • As Bitcoin nears $90K, capital has rotated into altcoins, producing weekly gains in the 30%–56% range for some tokens.
  • Altcoins jumped while the Dollar Index hit a four-year low, with HYPE, JTO and Solana memecoin PIPPIN cited as leaders.
  • Bitcoin moved above $90,000 as the U.S. dollar index weakened, with traders positioning ahead of the day’s FOMC.
