Despite that, the Altcoin Index recorded a weaker 27 out of 100, indicating lower performance among smaller-cap tokens compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum. While Bitcoin’s surge above $110,000 generated interest, the immediate retreat suggested cautious positioning from short-term holders.

Altcoins Diverge as Market Shows Mixed Momentum Amid Broader Pullback
While the broader market displayed mixed movements, several altcoins diverged from Bitcoin’s pullback. Notably, Pudgy Penguins, Zcash, and Fantom posted daily gains despite market-wide hesitation.
Pudgy Penguins is currently trading at $0.01588 with a 0.1% price increase. Zcash followed with a 4.7% increase bringing its value to $41.09 and the market cap currently at $688.94M which is an increase of 4.91%. Altcoins like Pudgy Penguins and Zcash gained attention due to relative strength in the market’s weaker segments.
In contrast, SEI, Arbitrum, and PEPE ended weaker, reflecting uneven performance across decentralized ecosystems. This volatility left the total crypto market cap steady at $3.53 trillion, with traders digesting both positive inflows and rising liquidations.
Small-Cap Coins Rally as Bedrock, IKUN, and MEV Lead Gains
Several small-cap coins posted strong gains, drawing attention in an otherwise mixed session. Bedrock surged 60.8% to $0.128, pushing its market cap to $26.87 million, a 60.75% increase.
IKUN climbed 53%, while MEV gained 51.7%. Guild of Guardians (GOG) rose 31.1%, and OFT ended the day up 22.1%.
As the next session approaches, traders are monitoring reactions around key resistance and support areas. Bitcoin’s recent price action introduced renewed volatility, while altcoin trends continued to show varying strength.
