Bitcoin, Ripple, Shiba Inu and Zero Coin entered the market divergence on July 26, and liquidity "chose the wrong direction" became the keyword
Bitcoin, Ripple, Shiba Inu Coin and Zero Coin showed completely different trends on July 26. The price analysis of that day revealed why the description of "liquidity chose the wrong direction" holds: Shiba Inu surged by about 36% in the South Korean-dominated market, while Bitcoin, Ripple and Zerocoin remained almost unchanged, showing a market characteristic of funds chasing a single, speculative corner rather than a comprehensive spread.
Key Points
Shiba Inu coins were the most prominent changes on July 26; Bitcoin, Ripple and Zero coins were relatively flat.
This round of rise was driven by the South Korean market and lacked a clear catalyst. Market sentiment remained in the fear zone.
No single verifiable event brings four assets into the same liquidity narrative.
The actual trading situation of Bitcoin, Ripple, Shiba Inu and Zero Coin on July 26
Bitcoin adhered to the market benchmark, with a trading price of approximately US$65149, with a moderate increase of 1.11% in 24 hours. This stability has become a reference point for more aggressive altcoin movements.
Bitcoin spot price: US$65149. Bitcoin held steady near the mid-point of $65,000, reflecting the selectivity rather than overall risk appetite for broader cryptocurrency liquidity.
Ripple was also calm, trading at US$1.11, a daily gain of less than 1%; zero rose about 4.2% to US$508.29. Neither showed an explosive trend that predicted the market's overall risk appetite.
Shiba Inu coins are an exception. It reported US$0.00000533 on CoinGecko, a 24-hour increase of about 9%. According to reports, the market on July 26 caused it to rise by about 36% to US$0.000057, increasing its market value by about US$1 billion in a single day, but it lacked a clear fundamental catalyst.
Spot price of Shiba Inu coins: 0.0000533 US $. This round of volatility has focused attention on Shiba Inu coins, while overall market sentiment remains in the fear zone.
Overall, the total market value of cryptocurrencies is approximately US$2.31 trillion, and Bitcoin's market share exceeds 56%, highlighting that the gravity of the market rather than the breadth of the altcoin still dominates the market landscape. A similar single-day divergence appeared in a June 13 snapshot of Bitcoin, Dog Coin, Shiba Inu Coin and Zero Coin.
Why liquidity shifted to isolated sectors rather than the entire market
The most obvious evidence of the selectivity rather than broad risk appetite comes from the source of trading volume in Shiba Inu. According to reports, Upbit's Shiba Inu/South Korean won trading pair handled approximately US$62 million in a single day, accounting for more than one-tenth of global trading volume, attributing most of the increase to South Korean trading activity rather than the synchronized altcoin market.
Ripple tells a quieter, similar story below the surface. According to reports, addresses holding 100,000 to 100 million Ripple coins increased their holdings by 2.8% in five weeks, while addresses with the smallest holdings reduced their holdings by 5.2%, forming a division between whales and retail investors, making positions concentrated rather than dispersed.
Market sentiment confirms caution. The Fear and Greed Index is at 30, which is in the fear range, even if individual currencies attract buying. If "choosing the wrong direction" means narrow and speculative rather than broad and protracted, then the capital flow on July 26 fits this label.
What traders should pay attention to after cross-asset differentiation
Bitcoin's resilience is an anchor point worthy of attention. According to reports, even though the "Big Seven" of U.S. stocks lost about US$797 billion in market value during the sell-off of AI-related stocks in late July, Bitcoin remained stable at around US$65400, indicating that cryptocurrency positions were not affected by the impact.
The follow-up questions are: whether the trading volume of Shiba Inu can continue after the Korean trading session recedes; whether the whale accumulation of Ripple can be transformed into price momentum; and whether Bitcoin's market share can be maintained above 56%. A thinly liquid and fast-moving market could quickly reverse, as Zerocoin has shown before-in the 30% surge, Zerocoin bets have become one of the largest sources of liquidation after Bitcoin.
There was no single verifiable event on July 26 that linked Bitcoin, Ripple, Shiba Inu and Zerocoin, so an honest interpretation is structural: observe whether selective liquidity expands, recedes, or retracts to Bitcoin. Liquidity may also tighten at the infrastructure level, such as issuing warnings when an exchange fails to process any bitcoin withdrawals within 24 hours.
