All 12 tracked cryptocurrencies finished the session in negative territory, showing a unanimous decline rather than a rotation into select names. Bitcoin fell 5.86% to $75,725.9, and Ethereum dropped 8.09% to $2,226.28. The absence of any gainers indicates that selling pressure was market-wide, with large caps, smart-contract platforms, payment tokens, and meme assets all participating. This breadth profile is consistent with a defensive trading session in which risk appetite contracted across the sample. No token in the table posted a positive daily return.
Among the largest assets, Bitcoin's 5.86% decline was smaller than Ethereum's 8.09% drop, leaving ETH at $2,226.28 versus BTC at $75,725.9. Solana fell 5.95% to $89.84, closely tracking Bitcoin's percentage loss, while XRP declined 6.45% to $1.22. The major-cap group therefore stayed under pressure, but dispersion was visible: ETH's decline was more than two percentage points steeper than BTC's. This pattern points to a cautious tone even in the most liquid segment of the market. Overall, the majors did not provide a counterweight to the broader selloff.
Several altcoins posted losses larger than Bitcoin's, with Stellar down 8.39% to $0.153691 and Cardano down 7.85% to $0.181745. Litecoin fell 7.64% to $51.96, Dogecoin dropped 6.68% to $0.0718419, and Chainlink lost 6.62% to $10.68165. These moves placed a cluster of assets in the 6.6% to 8.4% decline range, well above BTC's 5.86% drop. The distribution suggests that higher-beta and alternative tokens absorbed more intense selling pressure during the session. This group included payment, meme, and oracle names, broadening the weakness beyond a single crypto category.
Polkadot was the least-negative token in the table, falling 3.92% to $0.9168, while Cosmos declined 5.28% to $1.4 and Avalanche slipped 5.42% to $8.256. Bitcoin's 5.86% decline was only slightly larger than those of ATOM and AVAX, placing it among the more resilient names in relative terms. Even so, these assets remained firmly lower, so the pattern reflects smaller drawdowns rather than outright strength. Relative resilience was therefore limited and did not alter the market's overall negative tone. The group still posted clear losses, underscoring the breadth of the down session.
All 12 tracked tokens declined, so breadth was 12 decliners and zero advancers. Bitcoin and Ethereum both fell, and altcoins also posted losses. This indicates market-wide selling rather than a narrow pullback.
Stellar XLM fell 8.39% to $0.153691, the largest drop in the sample. Ethereum was close with an 8.09% decline to $2,226.28, followed by Cardano at 7.85%.
Polkadot declined 3.92% to $0.9168, the smallest loss in the table. Cosmos at -5.28% and Avalanche at -5.42% also had smaller declines than many peers. Even so, all tracked assets remained negative.
Bitcoin fell 5.86% to $75,725.9, while Ethereum fell 8.09% to $2,226.28. ETH's drop was about 2.23 percentage points steeper than BTC's. Both were negative, but Bitcoin showed the smaller decline among the two largest assets.

The gap between the weakest and strongest performers was 4.47 percentage points, from Stellar's 8.39% decline to Polkadot's 3.92% drop. Ethereum's 8.09% loss and Cardano's 7.85% decline sat near the weak end, while ATOM, AVAX, Bitcoin, and DOT formed a comparatively steadier group. This range indicates that the selloff was not uniform; token-specific liquidity and risk profiles produced a visible spread. Still, the entire distribution stayed below zero, leaving the session's directional bias unambiguously negative. The spread highlights differences in drawdown severity within an otherwise synchronized move.
The sample covered major store-of-value, smart-contract, payment, oracle, and meme tokens, and every segment closed lower. Ethereum, Stellar, Cardano, and Litecoin recorded some of the steepest declines, while Polkadot, Cosmos, Avalanche, and Bitcoin held comparatively smaller losses. With all 12 assets down and none advancing, the session's sentiment profile was defensive rather than selective. The data describe a synchronized crypto drawdown, not a market searching for isolated winners. Based on public market data, for education only and not investment advice.
The range from the best to worst performer was 4.47 percentage points, from Polkadot's -3.92% to Stellar's -8.39%. This shows uneven pressure, with higher-beta altcoins weaker than several larger names. However, every token was down, so the session was not a rotation into winners.
No. Major caps, smart-contract platforms, payment tokens, oracle tokens, and meme assets all closed lower. The unanimous decline is consistent with a defensive, risk-off trading tone across the sample.
