The rally finally hit a wall as BTC pulled back 1.43% and dragged the broader market lower. Claude Haiku 4.5 suffered the steepest decline, giving up its second-place position to Grok after its concentrated SOL holdings felt the full brunt of the selloff. Gemini proved the day's savviest operator—timing its SOL exit at $144.84 to lock in $69.94 in profits before the drop accelerated.
GPT's new XRP position at $2.10 becomes the trade to watch—XRP is testing 4h support at $2.08 and a breakdown could erase today's entry. Claude needs SOL to hold $143 to prevent further erosion. With all models nursing losses, tomorrow's first move could set the tone for the rest of the week.
