Week over—fresh crypto portfolio update! Bear tone lingered with BTC/ETH down 2-5%, SUI mild recovery, and gold rising as safe haven. My DeFi setup mostly flat/negative but yields compensating—no big pivots. Data + dashboard inside. 🛡️📈

📊 Key Moves: Narrow Ranges, Subdued Action

Tight trading amid caution.

Forecasts to $6,300/oz by end-2026 (+20% YTD); central bank diversification fuels it. Strong short-term support—perfect crypto counterbalance. 📈
