Digital assets slipped as broad profit-taking hit altcoins, nudging total crypto market capitalization to the mid-$3.7 trillion range. Bitcoin dominance hovered near the low-50s while 24-hour turnover stayed elevated. Analysts framed the move as consolidation following early-October volatility and record highs, with macro drivers—including dollar strength and equities risk tone—steering flows. While derivatives liquidations moderated, spot demand concentrated in majors, and ETF activity remained a stabilizer. Technicians eyed ~$3.6T as key support on total market-cap charts.
