Market Trend
BTC rebounds; altcoins diverge and then recover. U.S. stocks fall; oil prices retreat.
Market Highlights
1、Privacy coins lead again: ZEC up about 20%, DASH up about 14%, XMR is weaker; the privacy theme remains highly volatile.
2、L2s and old coins recover: ARB up about 12%, DOT up about 10%, NEAR up about 14%, LSK up about 36%; capital moves into oversold rebound plays.
3、Smaller coins show clear divergence: SYN surges about 73%; MARSCOIN, IOST, and REZ rebound. Coins like BULL COME, SAGA, CVC, and STEEM pull back; chasing higher still carries risk.
4、The Federal Reserve hiked rates by 25 bps to 3.75%–4%, the first rate hike since 2023.
5、U.S. crude oil inventories increase by 7.1 million barrels; the decline in oil prices weighs on the energy sector.
