Bitcoin traded at $82,239, up 0.76% over the preceding 24 hours, in Rootstone’s Friday morning snapshot. Four of the five tracked assets advanced.

Solana led the group with a 1.02% gain to $105.35. Ether rose 0.81% to $2,438.09, while XRP added 0.57% to $1.34. BNB was the only decliner, slipping 0.11% to $728.59.

The Federal Reserve’s industrial production and capacity utilization report is scheduled for later today.

Watch whether Solana retains its lead and whether BNB rejoins the advancing assets through the U.S. session. Any change in the lineup should be assessed alongside the release and trading conditions, rather than attributed to the report alone.
