Crypto prices are little changed, with bitcoin steady after dropping back from last week’s post-Fed high while altcoins continue to underperform amid risk-off sentiment.

What to know:

  • BTC rebounded from Sunday’s $88,000 low to around $89,900, though it remains well below the $94,300 it hit after the Fed’s 25 basis-point rate cut.
  • More than half of the top 100 tokens are lower over 24 hours, with the CoinDesk 20 up just 0.16% and the broader CD80 down 0.77%, underscoring altcoins' continuing underperformance.
  • Sentiment has slipped back into “extreme fear,” altcoin season indicators remain depressed, and bitcoin dominance continues to climb, reflecting investor preference for larger-cap assets.
