Majors Retreat
The altcoin complex is under pressure. Ethereum trades at $2,524.62, down 1.22% over 24 hours and 6.76% across the week. XRP has slipped 2.87% on the day to $1.37 and 8.68% over seven days, while Solana sits at $108.13 after a 3.93% daily decline and a 10.02% weekly drop. BNB holds at $744.68, down 0.95% on the day.
The wider picture is softer too: global market capitalisation stands at $2.83T, down 2.86% over 24 hours, with BTC dominance at 59.3%. Bitcoin itself trades at $83,560, down 0.38% on the day and 33.72% below its all-time high of $126,080 — context for an altcoin market taking its cue from a cooling leader.
Where the Losses Sit
The day's sharpest decliners are concentrated in younger, higher-beta names. Pump.fun (PUMP) is down 14.48% to $0.00507767 and 19.53% over the week; Ethena (ENA) has fallen 11.23% to $0.212738; NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is 10.09% lower at $5.30; Zcash (ZEC) has given back 9.08% to $1,212.76; and Ondo (ONDO) is down 7.65% at $0.483747. Hedera (HBAR) and Cardano (ADA) also feature among the larger movers, down 7.06% and 5.82% respectively.
Gainers are thinner. Bitway (BTW) leads with a 6.57% daily rise to $1.80 and a 59.98% weekly gain. Monero (XMR) is up 0.71% at $536.19, while Figure Heloc (FIGR_HELOC) holds $1.064 after a 2.98% weekly advance.
Mood and Structure
Sentiment has cooled. The fear and greed index reads 57, labelled Greed, down from 69 yesterday, while the desk sentiment gauge sits at 49, Neutral. DeFi total value locked stands at $91.64B, with Ethereum accounting for $51.29B, ahead of Base at $6.22B, Solana at $6.07B and Tron at $5.58B.
In derivatives, funding on the OKX BTC-USDT-SWAP is 0.0053% per 8 hours, with open interest at $2.46B. Headlines this session include CoinDesk reporting that tokenized SanDisk bets saw more liquidations than XRP as Asia's chip rout wiped out $800 million, and CoinTelegraph reporting Binance's plan to shut down its mining pool services in November.
