Market conditions remained challenging as nineteen of the twenty assets in the index posted losses. AAVE emerged as the sole gainer with a modest 0.2% increase, while Bitcoin (BTC) limited its decline to just 0.1%, performing better than most of its peers despite still finishing in negative territory.

Laggards Weigh on Index Performance

At the opposite end of the spectrum, both Avalanche (AVAX) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) registered the steepest declines among index constituents, each dropping 2.1% during the trading period. These heavier losses among mid-cap cryptocurrencies contributed significantly to the overall index decline.

The broader market weakness follows recent volatility in cryptocurrency markets, with most digital assets unable to sustain positive momentum. Despite Bitcoin’s relatively strong performance compared to altcoins, it wasn’t enough to pull the overall index into positive territory.
