Bitcoin Holds Steady Ahead of Jackson Hole as Solana and XRP Lead Daily Gains

Bitcoin held steady near $78,623 today, maintaining its narrow band after retreating from Tuesday's high above $81,200. The price action followed a sharp rally that added over 20% to Bitcoin's value in the past week.

Traders are now watching whether support near $78,000 holds through the Jackson Hole symposium, which opened today and runs through Friday. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will deliver his first keynote address on Friday morning, with markets expecting a dovish tone to support Bitcoin's price.

Solana led the daily gains among top ten coins, rising 4.1% as XRP followed closely behind with a 2.5% gain. The strong performance of these altcoins has strengthened their case as market leaders ahead of Friday's key speech.
