Breadth was strong: 1513 assets advanced against 918 that declined, and 74.0% of the hundred largest closed higher.

LayerZero (ZRO) was the day's strongest mover at +19.8%, ahead of ONDO (+13.5%). At the other end, Bitway (BTW) fell 27.7%, with TRX (-9.0%) close behind. Every tracked sector closed higher, led by Storage & Compute at +8.4%.

Volume and Leverage

A quiet tape: $74.4B changed hands, -27.5% on the day before. Spot on centralised exchanges accounted for $73.0B, on-chain swaps $2.97B and derivatives $104B.

Liquidations were contained at $232M, split between longs ($127M) and shorts ($104M). Open interest across the venues we track is $65.8B.

Sentiment

Sentiment is neutral: our Fear & Greed index reads 52 (45 yesterday, 55 last week).

Sectors

Rotation was visible at the sector level. Storage & Compute finished +8.4% while Derivatives & Perpetuals closed +0.9%, a spread of 7.5 points across the 10 sectors we track; all 10 of them rose, with the middle of the pack (DeFi) at +3.6%. Derivatives & Perpetuals lagging a rising market suggests the bid was selective rather than indiscriminate.
