Altcoins shed yesterday's gains as Bitcoin hovers just above key level 

CRYPTOCURRENCY markets have pulled back again after yesterday's spike, with many assets shedding recent gains.

The top of the market cap board appears to be in consolidation mode, with Bitcoin hovering around the $100,000 mark and Ethereum (ETH) moving sideways overnight.

While most assets faced declines, Optimism (OP) and Maker (MKR) are among the few to post overnight gains.

Sentiment has cooled slightly, with the Fear and Greed Index slipping back into 'Greed' from 'Extreme Greed'.

As the year winds down, investors are eyeing the next potential catalyst for a significant market move.
