Crypto Markets Plummet: Altcoins Bleed as Bitcoin Holds Steady

Cryptocurrency markets are experiencing a significant downturn, with many top altcoins posting substantial losses. While Bitcoin (BTC) has shown some resilience, the majority of altcoins are in the red, causing uncertainty among investors.

Bitcoin, the market leader, is currently priced at $99,780, showing a slight 2.59% gain in the last 24 hours. However, it has not experienced the expected bullish surge. Ethereum (ETH), at $3,104, has seen a 5.93% drop in the last 24 hours, indicating broader weakness across the altcoin market.

Solana (SOL), one of the most affected coins, has had a rough patch, with a 9.57% decrease over the past 24 hours and an 18.75% drop in the past week. This decline has pushed SOL below the $210 mark, a significant support level. Other altcoins like XRP, Binance Coin (BNB), and stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) have also struggled, showing minimal to moderate declines in the past 24 hours.

The total market cap of cryptocurrencies currently sits at $3.38 trillion, but the broader market sentiment remains weak. With Bitcoin dominance at 58.55%, many are waiting for the market to find direction. The Fear & Greed index sits at 54, hinting at a neutral stance amid uncertainty.

In other news, Dogecoin (DOGE) briefly fell below $0.3, with a more than 8% decrease in the past 24 hours. This decline comes as part of the broader market downturn, with many altcoins experiencing significant losses.
