Bitcoin extends weekly decline despite surge in trading activity

Bitcoin prices weakened further, trading near ₹80,85,330 and marking a daily decline of 3.48 percent amid volatile global risk sentiment. The cryptocurrency’s market capitalisation slipped to approximately ₹1,61,699 trillion, reflecting a weekly drop of nearly 12 percent from recent levels. Despite the price correction, trading volumes increased sharply, indicating active repositioning by investors rather than broad exit. Bitcoin continues to dominate the crypto market with roughly 61 percent share of total market capitalisation, while Ethereum and other altcoins lagged during the period.
