Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, surged to $44,600 last week, marking a recent peak, but faced a sudden downturn this morning.
Subsequently, BTC slid to $40,400 before rebounding to $42,380 at the time of this writing.
While most altcoins mirrored BTC’s decline, certain ones stood out, defying the trend and surprising observers who anticipated a downturn with their upward movements.
Altcoins showing positive divergence from both BTC and the broader altcoin market included Injective (INJ), Bonk (BONK), Avalanche (AVAX), and Synthetix (SNX).
Based on CoinMarketCap data, INJ surged by 18.02%, BONK by 18.01%, AVAX by 13.46%, and SNX by 12.03%, ranking among the top-performing altcoins that differentiated positively from the market.
The “fear and greed index,” a metric by a popular analysis firm that gauges the emotional sentiment of crypto investors through factors like market volatility, volume trends, social media engagement, Bitcoin dominance, and online crypto-related research, currently stands at 74 out of 100.
