Crypto Market Dips Broadly as Fear Sentiment Takes Hold

Over the last 24 hours, most major cryptocurrencies have seen small price declines, with Litecoin (LTC) and Polkadot (DOT) leading the dip at around -2% each, while Bitcoin (BTC) also slipped roughly 1.3%. The market's "Fear & Greed Index" sits at 33, labeled "Fear," which means many market participants are currently feeling cautious — this kind of sentiment can contribute to selling pressure across the board. A couple of coins bucked the trend: Uniswap (UNI) rose about 2.8% and XRP edged slightly higher, showing that even in a broadly down market, individual coins can move for their own reasons, such as project news or trading activity.
