【ChainWen】Recently, many people have been paying attention to the market trends. According to SoSoValue data, the overall crypto market today shows some divergence—some sectors are adjusting, but there are also many bright spots.

The AI sector has decreased by 3.29% over the past 24 hours, which is a noticeable correction. Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) dropped 6.51%, Render (RENDER) fell 7.29%, and Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) experienced an even larger decline of 8.75%. However, it is worth noting that BTC remains quite resilient in this environment—rising against the trend by 1.39%, and briefly reaching $97,000 during the session, which is a positive signal. ETH performed relatively steadily, only down 0.05%, staying above $3,300.

Other sectors have their own stories. The Layer1 sector declined by 0.80%, but Zcash (ZEC) stood out with a 4.38% increase. The DeFi sector overall fell by 1.11%, but River (RIVER) surged against the trend by 15.07%. The CeFi sector decreased by 1.17%, while Bitget Token (BGB) rose 2.29% during the session.

The PayFi sector dropped 1.40%, but there was a special highlight—Dash (DASH) surprisingly surged 37.95%, a quite remarkable increase. The Meme sector overall declined by 2.16%, and although there was some adjustment, individual tokens still experienced gains and losses.

Overall, although the market is adjusting, BTC’s performance has given the market some confidence, and some individual tokens within certain sectors are rising against the trend. In this divergent market, it’s important to pay attention to the specific movements of the tokens you care about.
