Crypto Market Dips Broadly as Fear Sentiment Takes Hold

Most major cryptocurrencies edged lower over the last 24 hours, with Bitcoin slipping 1% and Chainlink seeing the steepest drop among larger coins at -1.7%, while Polkadot fell the most overall at -3.9%. When many assets decline together like this, it often reflects a cautious mood across the market — and the Fear & Greed Index sitting at 31 ("Fear") confirms that investors are generally feeling uncertain right now. A couple of exceptions stood out: Uniswap rose 3.4% and Litecoin gained 1%, which shows that even in a down market, individual coins can move differently based on their own news or trading activity.
