A green market headline can still hide weak breadth.
At 17:07 ICT on 29 Aug, CoinMarketCap showed total crypto market cap up 2.03% over 24h and $557.06M in liquidations. Yet its Top-100 24h leaderboard was thin on upside: ICP led listed gainers at +2.78%, while STX was down 9.10%.
That mix suggests a rebound with uneven participation, not a universal risk-on signal. The practical takeaway: separate index-level direction from the distribution of individual coins and trading volume before treating a market move as broad confirmation. Fast reversals remain possible when liquidations are elevated.
