The crypto market has had a whirlwind 24 hours — with price swings, rebounds, and renewed caution gripping traders. While Bitcoin held steady around the $85,000 mark, Dogecoin slipped 3%, reflecting a cautious but dynamic environment shaped by shifting global economic signals and fears of a looming U.S. recession.

🚨 Key Highlights:

  • Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 3% amid market volatility.

  • Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) remained largely stable as tariff concerns ease.

  • VTHO surged 37%, with Dana White stepping in as a strategic advisor

  • Mantra’s OM token jumped 20% after a sharp 90% drop earlier.

  • Story Protocol’s IP dropped 20%, only to bounce back by 30% hours later.

🪙 Bitcoin Stays Steady, But Uncertainty Looms

While major tokens like Bitcoin and Ether managed to sidestep steep losses, the mood wasn’t exactly calm. The broader crypto market, tracked by the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), dipped around 2%, weighed down primarily by memecoins and altcoins like Solana (SOL), Tron (TRX), and Cardano (ADA), which dropped as much as 2.5%.

Amid this, Bitcoin remained a pillar of stability. Hovering around $85K, it appears investors are leaning into BTC’s "store of value" narrative once again — especially as traditional markets waver under economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

📉 Dogecoin Leads Losses as Recession Fears Grow

Dogecoin, often driven by hype and sentiment, took the biggest hit with a 3% decline. This comes as U.S. recession fears grow louder. Prominent voices in finance now estimate a 40% to 60% chance of a recession hitting by 2025.


“Sentiment shapes reality more than the other way around,” said Augustine Fan, Head of Insights at SignalPlus. “In that context, crypto might actually benefit, especially with equities seeing more volatility than Bitcoin during this risk-off phase.”


Fan also noted that the U.S. government’s tariff tactics — dubbed "beggar-thy-neighbor" — have sent gold prices soaring to all-time highs, which may also be helping to lift Bitcoin’s appeal as a safe haven.

📈 Surprising Surges: VTHO, OM & IP Bounce Back

It wasn't all gloom. VeThor (VTHO) rocketed 37% after a strategic announcement featuring UFC CEO Dana White as an advisor — a big-name endorsement that injected fresh optimism into the token's outlook.

Mantra’s OM token, which saw a jaw-dropping 90% plunge over the weekend, rebounded sharply with a 20% gain. While the project’s leadership has proposed a recovery plan, market participants remain cautious and are watching closely.

Similarly, Story Protocol’s IP token followed an OM-style rollercoaster — first crashing 20%, then rebounding more than 30% in mere hours, reflecting both volatility and renewed interest from opportunistic traders.

🧐 What This Means for Traders

In a climate where recession concerns and tariff policies dominate headlines, crypto continues to be a space of extremes — with resilience, risk, and rapid reversals all playing out side by side.

The next few weeks could be crucial. Will Bitcoin reassert its store-of-value role? Can altcoins stabilize? Or are we in for more turbulence?
