Bitcoin Holds Steady While Altcoins Face Broad Selloff

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin edged up slightly by 0.29%, while most other cryptocurrencies fell — with AVAX, ADA, DOT, and LTC dropping between 5% and 6%. This kind of pattern, where Bitcoin stays relatively stable while altcoins decline more sharply, is sometimes called "altcoin weakness," and it's reflected in Bitcoin's dominance sitting at 59.3%, meaning BTC makes up a large share of the total crypto market. The Fear & Greed Index currently reads 57 (Greed), which indicates that market sentiment is still leaning positive overall, even as many coins are seeing short-term price dips.
