ETH followed the uptrend, indicating that the linkage among mainstream coins remains intact.

BitMart X Insight: On May 4, stock markets in several regions, including the UK, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, were closed for holidays, while U.S. stocks traded normally. Meanwhile, the market continues to digest the macro backdrop of rising oil prices and the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates unchanged. In the context of the crypto market, such an environment typically leads to capital concentrating more heavily around a few core assets. As a result, BTC’s strong performance is more pronounced compared to altcoins. Today, BTC first broke through $80,000, while ETH and SOL followed with a recovery, reflecting the current market characteristic where sentiment is driven by leading assets.

Investors are advised to continue monitoring BTC’s stability above $80,000 and whether ETH and SOL can further amplify their catch-up gains under the influence of leading assets.
