The divergence was evident in the sell-off: Zcash dropped 16%, substantially more than Bitcoin. This suggests altcoin-specific volatility and downside risk are rising, while Bitcoin’s price action is becoming a less reliable guide to the broader crypto market. --- ## Sources 1. https://news.bitcoin.com/crypto-news/zcash-dives-16-falling-harder-tbitcoin-market-sell-off/ 2. https://cryptobriefing.com/altcoins-bitcoin-correlation-turns-negative/ --- *Content provided by BITERMINAL — https://biterminal.rendrr.app* *Powered by xAI Grok.
