Overall market mood – risk-off, but not dead



Bitcoin has slipped back under the 90k USD area after failing to hold above 92–94k, extending the correction from the 126k ATH and keeping the market in a late-2025 mini bear within a larger bullish cycle. Liquidations and de-risking are still heavy, which is why almost everything on your list is -2% to -10% in 24h.

This is a cool-down / leverage flush, not a total collapse: liquidity and market cap remain high, but momentum is clearly with the sellers short-term.

Majors (BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, TRX, ADA, LINK)

BTC – Trading in the high-80k/low-90k band after several red days. Technically it’s in a local downtrend: lower highs from 94k+ and closing below short-term MAs. Support zone is roughly the mid-80k region; a daily close back above ~94k would be first sign bulls are reclaiming control.

ETH – Following BTC, flirting with a drop below 3k. ETH/BTC has looked a bit stronger since recent upgrades, but in USD it’s still risk-off. Expect it to mirror BTC with slightly higher beta.

XRP, SOL, ADA, LINK – All got some structural support from ETF and fund products (like Franklin’s EZPZ ETF plus separate LINK ETF narratives), which is bullish long-term, but right now they’re pulled down with BTC. Short-term structure: most are under their recent swing highs and testing support ranges; LINK especially is in choppy territory after ETF headlines.

BNB, TRX – Both are correcting but still structurally stronger than many alts thanks to their own ecosystems. Trend: sideways-down, but no catastrophic breakdown yet.

Takeaway: majors = cooling after a big year, short-term bearish momentum, long-term trend still intact unless BTC loses the low-80k zone convincingly.

NEAR, ATOM, APT, KAS, SUI, HBAR, GRT, STRK, ASTER/ASTR, GT

These are classic beta plays: they drop harder when BTC corrects. Daily moves of roughly -4% to -10% across many of them, which fits the current volatility regime. Most are:

Trading below short-term moving averages,

Holding higher-timeframe support (weekly structure still up from 2024–2025 lows),

Volume thinning out = no strong capitulation yet, more like grindy bleed.

Narrative-wise:

NEAR, ATOM, APT, KAS, SUI, HBAR remain solid L1/L2 or infra plays with active dev ecosystems. In a renewed risk-on phase they can bounce aggressively, but right now they’re in wait-and-see consolidation.

GRT & STRK: infra / zk narratives; similar pattern – bled down with the rest, waiting for next catalyst.

ASTER/ASTR is reported consolidating slightly above support, reflecting the broader lethargy in altcoins.

GT (GateToken): exchange tokens typically move slower; it’s still a liquidity and fee-revenue proxy, so as long as volumes on Gate stay okay, GT usually holds better than pure narrative coins, though it still trends with the market.

ONDO, CELO, CFG, AKT, OM, QUBIC, VIRTUAL, S, W, XION, GFI, BTT, RVN, ZRO, OZ

ONDO – Very mixed right now. Technically it’s under key MAs (20/50/200) after a sharp daily drop, which is bearish short-term, but structurally it still has big RWA tailwinds: new regulatory access to ~30 European countries plus earlier chart patterns (falling wedge) that some analysts think could support a big rebound if risk sentiment improves. Short-term = weak, higher-timeframe narrative = strong but crowded trade.

CELO, CFG – Both sit in the broader RWA / payments / infra bucket; they’re behaving like mid-caps: sharp red candles on BTC drops, but no new all-time lows.

AKT (Akash) – Decentralized compute narrative; high beta. Its current move is a typical 5–8% pullback day, in line with the rest of your screen.

BTT, RVN – Older high-supply coins; usually bleed harder in risk-off and pump late in risk-on. Right now they mostly act as liquidity coins for speculators, not leaders.

OM, QUBIC, VIRTUAL, S, W, XION, GFI, ZRO, OZ – Smaller or newer narrative plays, so they’re highly sensitive to BTC. In this environment they’re good for DCA only if you have strong conviction; they’re not in leadership mode.

Strategic view for investors today

1. Trend: short-term down across almost everything; market is in a post-rally shakeout with leverage flushing.

2. Leaders to watch for reversal: BTC reclaiming 94k+ and ETH back over major resistance would likely signal the next leg up; then SOL, LINK, NEAR, ONDO, ATOM, etc., can move harder.

3. Risk approach:

Spot: DCA into high-conviction majors and 2–4 favorite narratives is safer than spreading too thin over all of these.

Futures: until volatility stabilizes, better to reduce leverage and avoid over-trading bounces; trend is still down on daily timeframe.
