Crypto Market Slides broadly as Fear Grips Investors

Nearly every major cryptocurrency fell over the past 24 hours, with ADA dropping the most at about -4%, followed by UNI at -4.4% and LTC at -3.2%. Bitcoin slipped roughly -2.7%, which is notable because when Bitcoin falls, most other coins tend to follow — this is a common pattern in crypto markets driven by overall investor sentiment. The Fear & Greed Index currently reads 28, labeled "Fear," meaning many market participants are feeling cautious right now, which often leads to broader selling across the board. AVAX was the lone bright spot, edging up about +1.9%, showing that individual coins can sometimes move independently from the wider market trend.
