Cryptocurrency Market Today: The global cryptocurrency business has dipped by 0.97%, bringing the total market cap to $2.31 trillion. Despite the decline in 24-hour trading volume—down 14.81% to $71.28 billion—the Fear & Greed Index remains neutral at 56. Market participants are left wondering if the recent downward trend is a pullback or a sign of a larger correction looming. The declining numbers hint at caution among investors as geopolitical and electoral tensions mount in the U.S.

Bitcoin Today: Caution Amid ETF Outflows

Bitcoin, maintaining dominance at 57.35%, saw a minor 0.73% drop, pushing its price to $67,036.01. The ongoing uncertainty stems from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which experienced $79.12 million in net outflows on October 22. Despite this, long-term Bitcoin holders remain confident, with accumulation wallets now holding over $194 billion worth of BTC.

Altcoins Struggle: Ethereum, Solana, and XRP Decline

Ethereum’s dominance stands at 13.6%, but it wasn’t spared from the broader market dip, dropping 1.26% in the last 24 hours. Solana and XRP followed suit, with losses of 2.09% and 2.56%, respectively. The tight race between Trump and Harris in the U.S. election has caused large investment funds to shy away from volatile assets, impacting not just Bitcoin but also top altcoins.
