Metals reversed after a crowded run-up, with silver dropping 27% and gold down 8%, while Bitcoin slipped 0.54% but stayed above $80k. BTC dominance rose 0.70% and the Altcoin Season Index hovered near 40, signaling muted risk appetite as investors reassess whether capital cycles back to metals rather than altcoins.
