$BTC

Cryptocurrency markets today: Bitcoin is rising, but risk appetite remains low.

Cryptocurrency prices have hardly changed: Bitcoin remained stable after falling from last week's peak, which was reached after the Fed meeting, while altcoins continue to show worse performance amid declining risk appetite.

The price of BTC bounced back from Sunday’s low of $88,000 and rose to about $89,900, although it is still significantly below the mark of $94,300 reached after the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points.

More than half of the top 100 tokens have declined over the past 24 hours: the CoinDesk 20 index rose just 0.16%, while the broader CD80 index fell 0.77%, highlighting the ongoing low momentum for altcoins.

Sentiment has slipped back to 'extreme fear', altcoin season indicators remain depressed, and Bitcoin's dominance continues to grow, reflecting investors' preference for higher-cap assets.
