Crypto Market Shows Broad Gains Led by LTC and BNB

Over the last 24 hours, Litecoin (LTC) and BNB posted the strongest moves, rising 6.8% and 6.29% respectively, while Polkadot (DOT) also climbed 6.61% — larger single-day swings like these often reflect a burst of renewed trader interest or positive news surrounding a specific project. Bitcoin held relatively steady near $79,600, and its "dominance" of 58.9% means it still makes up the largest share of the overall crypto market, which currently sits at about $2.7 trillion. The Fear & Greed Index reads 73 ("Greed"), which is a sentiment tool that shows market participants are currently feeling more confident and willing to take on risk — something that can sometimes contribute to broader price rises across many coins at once.
