Crypto Market Mixed as BTC Holds Steady Near $84K

Bitcoin edged up slightly (+0.37%) over the last 24 hours, while most altcoins saw small declines — LINK and AVAX were the biggest movers, each dropping around 4-5%, which can happen when traders shift focus back to larger, more established coins. XRP also dipped 2.1%, while DOT bucked the trend with a 2.54% gain, a reminder that different coins can move in different directions even on the same day. The overall market sentiment sits at a Fear & Greed score of 71 ("Greed"), meaning most market participants are currently feeling more confident than fearful — though this score can shift quickly.
