Crypto Market Rises Broadly Despite Extreme Fear Sentiment

Nearly every major cryptocurrency posted gains over the last 24 hours, with Cardano (ADA) leading the pack at +9.22%, followed by Uniswap (UNI) at +8.59% and Polkadot (DOT) at +6.91%. Bitcoin climbed about 3%, which is notable because its "dominance" — meaning its share of the total crypto market — sits at 56.6%, showing that most of the overall market value still revolves around BTC. Interestingly, the Fear & Greed Index reads 25 ("Extreme Fear"), which is a sentiment tool that measures how nervous or confident the market is — it's a reminder that prices and investor feelings don't always move in the same direction at the same time.
