The early-morning dip is pretty brutal— the broader market is dragging the altcoins down into the plunge.

$ETH current price is $2664, down 3.34%, effectively setting the tone lower. AVAX is down 6.78% to $10.29, LINK is down 6.11% to $12.26, DOT is down 7.35% back to $1.096, and OP is also down 5.70%, remaining at $0.1242.

Altcoins are even worse: RUNE is down 7.86% to $0.611, FET is down 5.12% to $0.1946, RENDER is down 5.88% to $1.728, and TAO is down 7.11% to $291.1.

Meme coins hurt the most: $PEPE is down 10.98%, $WIF is down directly -13.33% to $0.2278— anyone who chased higher in the middle of the night is probably feeling the pain.

One sentence: Don’t rush to bottom-buy. First, see whether the broader market can hold steady— control your hands and wait for stabilization signals.
