What exactly is the difference between a bull market and a bear market?
During an upswing, small-cap tokens often fluctuate more than Bitcoin; during a downturn, small-cap tokens also tend to suffer deeper pullbacks.
Sentiment itself can amplify price movements: more money flows in to follow the trend during an upswing, while panic selling increases during a downturn, making prices swing more sharply.
Many people use the movements of $BTC to describe the current phase of the crypto market as a whole. Currently 74756.63.
