Crypto Market Sees Broad Red as Altcoins Slide Hard

Nearly every major cryptocurrency fell over the past 24 hours, with smaller altcoins like UNI (-10.37%), DOT (-8.6%), DOGE (-7.54%), and ADA (-7.39%) dropping more sharply than Bitcoin (-3.49%) — a pattern that often happens when overall market confidence dips, since smaller coins tend to be more sensitive to selling pressure. Bitcoin's dominance sitting at 58.7% suggests that when investors get cautious, they tend to move away from altcoins and either hold Bitcoin or exit the market altogether. Interestingly, the Fear & Greed Index still reads 71 ("Greed"), which shows that market sentiment indicators can sometimes lag behind short-term price moves — a good reminder that no single number tells the whole story.
