LINK Leads Gains as Market Stays in Fear Zone

Over the past 24 hours, Chainlink (LINK) was the standout mover, climbing 7.1% — this can happen when a token gets renewed attention around its real-world use case of connecting blockchains to outside data. AVAX and DOT also saw notable gains of 3.6% and 2.1% respectively, while most other coins like SOL, LTC, and TRX dipped slightly. The overall market sentiment sits at a Fear score of 34, which means many investors are feeling cautious right now — a common reaction during periods of uncertainty in the crypto market.
