Total market cap pulled back, while most major coins closed higher. Risk appetite was concentrated in leading coins and did not spread across the market.

- Majors: BTC at $84,176, up 1.40%; ETH, SOL, and BNB each gained less than 1%; XRP outperformed, up 2.01%. DOGE fell 0.20%, the only decliner in this group.
- Flows: 24-hour trading volume was $83.6 billion. Total market cap fell 1.41%; BTC dominance was 59.67%, and ETH dominance was 10.66%. The snapshot does not provide before-and-after dominance figures, so it only shows that the broader market fell while leading coins rose.
- Sentiment: The Fear & Greed Index was 68, in the Greed zone. Its readings over the past seven days were 63, 55, 53, 59, 55, 63, and 68; today's reading was the highest in that period. The index is rising while total market cap is falling.
- Unusual moves: ALT rose 29.12% on about $25.21 million in trading volume. Its price gain and trading volume do not match; the reason is not available in this data and is flagged for further investigation. NEAR (up 5.97%, about $167 million) and ZEC (up 3.56%, about $242 million) saw increased volume. SOXLB had the steepest decline at 5.49%; most other losses were under 4%, while AVAX fell 1.02%.

The snapshot does not include stablecoin prices. The standout anomaly is that total market cap moved in the opposite direction from major coins.

First, watch whether trading remains concentrated in BTC or spreads to NEAR and ZEC, which have already seen increased volume.
