Bitcoin Holds Steady While Altcoins Slide Lower

Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin remained nearly flat (up just 0.07%), while most altcoins dipped — with Polkadot (DOT) leading losses at -4.23% and Avalanche (AVAX) falling -2.1%. This kind of pattern, where Bitcoin stays stable but smaller coins drop more sharply, often reflects traders moving toward Bitcoin as a "safer" option within crypto during uncertain moments. The market's Fear & Greed Index sits at 53, labeled "Neutral," which means overall sentiment is neither panicked nor overly excited right now.
