The <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto market</a> shifted sharply lower within 24 hours as selling pressure returned to leading assets, with Bitcoin BTC retreating to $92,531.79 after a recent push toward higher levels. Ethereum ETH also moved lower to $3,195.15 as selling pressure increased across large-cap assets, while elevated volume signaled short-term repositioning.
 
XRP declined to $1.96, giving back part of its recent gains as reduced buying momentum mirrored the wider market downturn. BNB fell to $924.59 amid declining demand for exchange-related tokens, although price action remained orderly due to controlled profit-taking. Solana SOL dropped to $133.16, extending losses after its recent strong performance as traders locked in gains from the prior rally.
 
TRON TRX slipped to $0.3177, recording a modest decline compared with peers as consistent transaction activity limited downside pressure. Dogecoin DOGE declined to $0.1268 as speculative interest cooled, with lower volume reflecting reduced short term risk appetite. On the other hand, Cardano ADA fell to $0.3622, aligning with broader weakness across layer one networks as subdued trading activity signaled caution.

<h2 id="market-weakness-contrasts-with-selective-gains-in-smaller-tokens">Market weakness contrasts with selective gains in smaller tokens</h2> 
While major cryptocurrencies turned red, several mid-cap and small-cap tokens posted gains, highlighting selective capital rotation instead of a broad sell off. DUSK surged to $0.302, marking the strongest percentage gain among notable movers as strong volume supported momentum. SURGE climbed to $0.1398 as buyers maintained pressure, while Secret SCRT advanced to $0.178 against the broader trend.
 
Mind Network FHE rose to $0.1861 on <a href="https://36crypto.com/crypto-bloodbath-bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-slide-while-small-caps-explode/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increased speculative participation</a>, while BORA traded at $0.05639 and held gains. Decred DCR increased to $25.29 as interest returned to privacy-focused assets, while RESOLV reached $0.08962 with steady volume.
 
Overall market capitalization declined as losses among major assets outweighed gains elsewhere, reinforcing a cautious tone driven by profit taking. Liquidity remained concentrated in high-volume assets, which helped stabilize prices as volatility increased without disorderly moves.
 
Traders continued monitoring technical levels across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, with focus remaining on volume trends and sentiment shifts. The 24-hour downturn reinforced a risk-off mood across leading cryptocurrencies, while selective strength in smaller tokens signaled rotation rather than panic selling.
