Bitcoin Stands Firm While Altcoins Bleed: July 30 Market Snapshot
BTC defies volatility as traders ditch speculative alts—proving once again that crypto's 'safe haven' narrative isn't totally dead.
Meanwhile, ETH and friends tank harder than a DeFi project post-audit. Classic.
Key moves:
- Bitcoin holds $XX,XXX (because of course it does)
- Altcoin rotation mimics 2021's 'risk-off' panic—just with more institutional tears
Bottom line: When the going gets tough, crypto bros still park their Lamborghini dreams in OG digital gold. Who needs diversification when you've got hopium?
Bitcoin Holds $118 Mark, as Altcoin Price Dips
Bitcoin (BTC) held firm above $118,000 on July 29, even as altcoins posted steep intraday losses. As of press time, BTC trades at $118,160, having rebounded from a morning low of $117,568 during London trading hours.
