The crypto market remained in a guarded mood in the recent week. BTC was +2.1% and ETH +1.7%, but breadth was thin as only two of seven majors finished higher. Still, capitalization indices gained between 0.5% and 1.7%, while our BVXS implied vol. index fell, and BTC front-end rates fell sharply.

CF Benchmarks
The market posted its strongest week of 2026 at +7.1%. However, factor breadth was notably thin. Size was the only non-market factor to finish positive at +1.3%, while growth and value lagged, suggesting the rally was driven by directional flows rather than fundamentals.
