Market Watch: 4-Hour Downturn Hits Key Altcoins

Recent trading activity shows notable price pressure across several major altcoins in just a 4-hour window. Berachain's $BERA leads the decline, dropping 6.95% to $0.7033, signaling weakness in the ecosystem token. Safe $SAFE isn't faring much better, down 4.51% at $0.1694, reflecting broader sentiment shifts in the governance token space.

KAITO follows suit with a 4.24% pullback to $0.6932, while Ordinals $ORDI shows more moderate weakness at -2.16%, holding around $5.337. Even Axie Infinity Shards $AXS, the gaming and metaverse play, dropped 1.93% to trade near $1.166.

What's driving this short-term weakness? A combination of profit-taking after recent rallies and macro headwinds seems to be the culprit. Traders watching these altcoins should note that 4-hour volatility often presents opportunities for tactical entries, though the broader trend direction remains key to monitor. Market sentiment appears cautious but not panicked—typical behavior during minor pullbacks before potential recovery attempts.

Bera has dropped again? This pace is really hard to keep up with, it feels like all the ecosystem tokens are just trailing behind...

It's starting to cut leeks again, huh? I knew the whales were shaking out the market when BERA dropped 7 points, but this support level is really solid. I'm optimistic about a rebound within the day. This is just the beginning; the previous pump was a trap. The technicals have already broken down, so everyone should avoid jumping in now. On the 4-hour chart, there does seem to be a chance, but risk management is essential. Set your stop-losses properly before taking action. I've long given up on SAFE; everything about it seems unreliable. I advise everyone to take profits in time and avoid getting trapped. It looks like a bottoming pattern, but I feel it still needs to drop a bit more to stabilize. Be patient, brothers.

A four-hour drop like this is nothing; I've already liquidated my positions and am waiting for a lower point.

Bera has fallen so much, I knew the days would be tough for ecosystem coins. Is this another wave of cutting leeks?
