Bitcoin Leads Broad Crypto Gains as Greed Returns

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin climbed about 2.3% and Litecoin was the standout mover, jumping over 4% — when a smaller coin rises faster than Bitcoin, it can sometimes signal that traders are feeling more confident and willing to take on a little more risk. The overall market sentiment indicator, known as the Fear & Greed Index, currently sits at 72 ("Greed"), which means the majority of market participants are feeling optimistic right now. A few coins like DOT, AVAX, TRX, and LINK dipped slightly, reminding us that not every asset moves in the same direction even on a generally "up" day — this is a normal part of how crypto markets work.
