Dogecoin fell 4.5% and ether fell 2.5% on Friday, leading a broad but shallow retreat across the majors as the market consolidated a strong week, according to CoinDesk data. XRP and Solana each fell about 2.5%, while bitcoin held up better, down 0.6% to around $65,400.
The pullback barely dented the weekly picture. Bitcoin is still up 3% over seven days, ether 1.8%, and most majors remain green on the week, with Hyperliquid the exception, down 3.5%.
There was no single catalyst behind Friday’s move, more of a lull after the run-up than a turnaround.
