Howard elaborated: <\/p>\n \u201cRumours surrounding the fallout from 10\/10 \u2014 reportedly impacting at least one U.S.-based firm \u2014 have contributed to a more cautious tone in certain segments. This reinforces the importance of prudent risk management and disciplined use of leverage, particularly in an environment where liquidity can tighten quickly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains deep in \u201cextreme fear\u201d territory, though it slightly improved after yesterday\u2019s low.<\/p>\n Looking at the top-100 assets<\/a> by market cap, Pi Network (PI) led gainers today, up 10%, followed by Midnight (NIGHT), up 9%.<\/p>\n On the downside, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) was today\u2019s biggest loser among large-caps, though it\u2019s down just 2.3%. <\/p>\n As for liquidations, according to CoinGlass<\/a> data, roughly 90,640 traders were liquidated over the past 24 hours, with total losses nearing $260 million.
