Crypto Market Sees Selective Strength in Smaller Assets

The crypto market saw a flurry of activity over the weekend as smaller assets posted significant gains, with some rising by as much as 11.6% in just 24 hours.

According to data from CoinGecko, HYPE led the pack with a 11.6% gain, followed closely by ZEC at +9%, CC at +6.1%, SOL at +4.9%, and LINK at +4.8%. These assets drew significant attention from retail traders who rotated into these names, but market analysts remain cautious about whether this rotation will broaden or remain limited.

The steady Bitcoin dominance reading of 58.1% continues to act as a gatekeeper, historically limiting capital rotation into altcoins. Until the dominance slips below 55%, the risk remains tilted towards quick fades once early profit-taking hits.
