Big moves among altcoins as Bitcoin's rocky week settles down

March 14, 2025

ALTCOINS rallied overnight, with Fantom (FTM) leading the gains, up more than 15%, followed by Chainlink (LINK) and Stellar (XLM).

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have remained relatively stable, offering some consolidation after recent market turbulence.

While the Fear and Greed Index remains in Extreme Greed territory, the recent price stabilization marks a shift from the volatility seen in previous weeks. Bitcoin is closing the week down over 7%, with Ethereum seeing even steeper losses. Whether this trend holds into next week remains to be seen.
