【Crypto World】Today’s market overall shows a weak correction trend. The index closed at 2764.31 points, down 20.29 points from the previous day’s close, a decline of 0.7%. In this correction, almost all 20 mainstream assets came under pressure—only one asset in the entire index posted gains.

Specifically, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) performed the most remarkably, rising against the trend by 1.1%, becoming the only bright spot in this wave of correction. Bitcoin (BTC) also experienced fluctuations but with a relatively mild decline, only down 0.1%.

On the downside, Polygon (POL) led the decline with a sharp correction of 3.6%, followed by Uniswap (UNI) with a 1.9% drop. It can be seen that tokens in the DeFi ecosystem faced significant selling pressure. Overall, market sentiment is bearish, and investors’ risk appetite has noticeably decreased.

BCH is serious this time, one person dancing against the entire market, there's something to it --- DeFi has been hit again, POL down 3.6% isn't a joke... --- BTC is still the most stable, only down 0.1% as if nothing happened, other coins are all in the funeral procession --- BCH what are you thinking, still daring to rise when the whole market is green... --- The market is really not doing well, with BCH being the only one rising, what can we say --- It seems the DeFi narrative is no longer as popular, with such strong selling pressure --- This adjustment in rhythm, it feels like risk appetite has really shrunk --- BCH is lonely and steadfast, I really admire its rebellious spirit

BCH's recent independent rally is truly impressive; while others are all in the red, it actually rose. That's quite interesting. DeFi is really getting hammered; POL's decline is quite severe. It's another case of risk appetite decreasing. When will we see a real rebound... Has BCH had any new developments recently? Why has it suddenly become resilient? So, it's still a wait-and-see phase. Should we wait before taking action? This round of correction doesn't feel as severe; BTC's decline of only 0.1% is acceptable. If DeFi keeps getting hammered like this, brothers, we need to be careful. Looking at BCH's gains, it seems like someone is quietly building a position?

BCH's recent rally is quite resilient, while everything else is collapsing. --- DeFi got hit again, POL's decline is incredible. --- Where's the promised bull market? Now everyone is so timid. --- Only BCH is holding on, others are really disappointing. --- Market sentiment is extremely bad, still need to wait. --- BTC only dropped 0.1%, stabilized, but others are really miserable. --- POL's trend was cut in half, these days in DeFi are tough. --- Why is BCH defying the trend and rising? Is there some insider info? --- It's that kind of market with everything in disarray, speechless. --- Mainstream assets are taking turns plunging, can't keep playing.

BCH this wave is quite interesting, it's rare to see a standout against the trend DeFi is taking a hit across the board, the sentiment is really bad... Is it again POL leading the decline? Come on, I'm already tired of it BTC only dropped this much, still holding steady The market is so weak, I think I'll hold onto cash for now Why did BCH rise? Is there some insider info? A nearly 0.7% drop and you still call it mild? That’s hilarious The entire market is vomiting, only BCH is partying, that’s a bit off the charts DeFi has really fallen apart, investors have all been scared away In this kind of market, only true warriors dare to trade

How did BCH manage to do this time? Others are all crashing, and it still can rise? --- DeFi is getting hit again, POL's decline is really severe --- Only BCH is showing off, everyone else is lying flat --- With this market sentiment, holding coins and sleeping doesn't feel secure --- Polygon led the decline directly, DeFi is really miserable --- One coin rises while others fall, when did BCH become so unique? --- BTC is holding up relatively well, but the others can't withstand it at all --- In this kind of market, BCH is stubbornly going against the trend, truly hard to understand

BCH's solo effort to rescue the market this time, while others are falling, it’s quite interesting. --- DeFi has become cannon fodder again, with POL dropping directly by 3.6%. This time, it’s really unbearable. --- The entire market is falling across the board, only BCH is defying the trend. Luckily, it’s holding up the scene. --- The overall market sentiment is so bad that even BTC can only decline mildly. This is what a bear market atmosphere looks like. --- POL was hit so hard; all the contract holders should have been wiped out, right? --- BCH suddenly gained momentum. Is there any good news behind it, or is it just a technical rebound? --- Just look at the performance of DeFi tokens to see that risk appetite has really bottomed out. --- The only asset that’s rising is BCH; everything else is getting hammered. This trend is a bit something. --- Polygon’s decline is outrageous; the entire ecosystem is bleeding. --- It’s about time to start bottom fishing, waiting for the market sentiment to get even worse.

BCH this wave is really amazing, everything else is falling but it’s still rising, this is unbelievable --- DeFi is being bloodbathed again, POL is directly breaking through --- Only BCH is holding the scene, everything else is虚的 --- Wait, why is only BCH rising, this doesn’t feel right --- Market sentiment is so bad, POL dropping so hard is reasonable --- BTC only dropped 0.1%, can we still call it stable? LOL --- BCH is rising against the trend, there’s a story here, friends --- DeFi tokens are collectively taking a hit, should we buy the dip or keep hiding
