Crypto Market Dips Broadly as Fear Sentiment Takes Hold

Over the last 24 hours, most major cryptocurrencies edged lower, with AVAX and UNI seeing the steepest declines at -2.4% and -2.7% respectively, while BNB and DOT bucked the trend with modest gains. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 28, which signals "Fear" — this is a sentiment tool that reflects how nervous or cautious the market is feeling overall, often when more people are selling than buying. A few coins like ADA held flat and TRX ticked slightly up, which shows that even in a broadly down market, individual assets can behave differently based on their own news and activity.
