Red across the board: BTC slips 2.9%, ETH down nearly 5%, only 9 of 100 coins gain
Crypto pulled back hard on July 17 as BTC fell to $62,900 and ETH dropped 4.7%. KAITO bucked the trend with a 17.4% gain while SYRUP led losers.
The market day
It was a rough day out there. Bitcoin dropped 2.88% to $62,900.01, and Ethereum fell even harder, down 4.69%. The pain wasn't isolated to the big two either — of the 100 coins tracked, 90 were in the red and only 9 managed a gain.
The standout mover was KAITO, up 17.41% while everything around it bled. On the other end, Maple Finance's SYRUP had the worst day, down 10.77%. That kind of spread — one token up nearly 20% and another down over 10% on the same day — tells you this was a broad risk-off move, not a single coin story.
With breadth that lopsided, the day reads as a market-wide pullback rather than anything coin-specific. BTC and ETH both leading losses of this size, together with 90% of coins down, points to sentiment turning cautious across the board.
