July 03, 2026 — The cryptocurrency market is trading higher this Friday, with Bitcoin (BTC) being traded at US$ 62.148,00, up 1% in the last 24 hours and 5% on the week. The positive movement comes precisely on the day when the United States stock exchanges remain closed in observance of the Independence Day holiday (July 4), which in 2026 falls on a Saturday and therefore had its holiday observed early on this Friday, July 3.

Crypto market rises with ETF inflows and lower selling pressure from whales
The broad rise in cryptocurrencies over the last 24 hours is being driven, according to industry analysts, by two main factors: a higher volume of capital inflows into ETFs linked to digital assets and a reduction in selling by "whales" — the large holders of crypto assets who usually push the price downward when they decide to take profits. With less supply being dumped on the spot market and more institutional demand via exchange-traded funds, the scenario has favored the appreciation of both Bitcoin and the leading altcoins.
The cryptocurrencies rising the most in the last 24 hours
Among the assets that make up the ranking of the leading cryptocurrencies by market value (excluding the stablecoins Tether and USD Coin, which by definition seek to maintain parity with the dollar), the upside highlight is:
- Hyperliquid (HYPE) — US$ 70,22, up 7,4% in 24h and 14,1% on the week, the biggest daily gain on the list;
- Dogecoin (DOGE) — US$ 0,0764, up 2,7% in 24h and 2,9% in the week;
- Ethereum (ETH) — US$ 1.736,46, up 2,3% in 24h and a strong gain of 13% in the week;
- XRP — US$ 1,11, up 2,1% in 24h and 7,6% in the last seven days;
- Solana (SOL) — US$ 81,52, up 1,1% in 24h and a jump of 18,3% in the week;
- Bitcoin (BTC) — US$ 62.148,00, up 1% in 24h;
- BNB — US$ 565,26, up 0.8% in 24h;
- TRON (TRX) — US$ 0.32, up 0.6% in 24h.
All eight listed cryptocurrencies — with the exception of stablecoins — are posting positive performance over the 24-hour period, reinforcing the optimistic tone dominating the digital market this Friday.
Technical analysis: Bitcoin needs to break above US$ 65 thousand to avoid the risk of a new drop below US$ 60 thousand
Despite the day's positive bias, Bitcoin's short-term technical analysis still calls for caution. To consolidate the recovery and once and for all remove the risk of a new retreat below the US$ 60 thousand, bulls need to manage to push the BTC price above the US$ 65 thousand zone. Until this resistance is broken consistently, the asset remains technically vulnerable to corrective moves, even amid the positive ETF flow and the lower selling pressure from whales observed in recent sessions.
Traditional market closed for holiday in the US
It is worth noting that the appreciation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is taking place on a day of reduced liquidity in traditional markets: the NYSE and Nasdaq are closed this Friday, July 3, in observance of the United States Independence Day holiday, officially celebrated on July 4 — a date that falls on a Saturday in 2026. As the crypto market operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Bitcoin continues to trade normally even with Wall Street closed, something that may increase price volatility amid the lower reference volume coming from the अमेरिकी stock market.
