Bearish Breadth Dominates as STRIKE Crash Leads ₳5.3M Session

Market tone leaned bearish with only 8 of 20 tokens closing green, reflecting a cautious 40% breadth across Cardano's most-active pairs. STRIKE was the session's most dramatic story, shedding 12.2% while simultaneously commanding the highest volume at ₳1.9M, followed by SURGE (-8.5%) and COCK (-6.3%). Despite COCK's steep losses, it posted the strongest buy pressure at 83% buys, with STRIKE also attracting 61% buys — suggesting dip-hunting amid the selloff. Stablecoin and synthetic assets iUSD (+5.2%) and DJED (+1.7%) led gainers, while ADA itself traded at a subdued $0.158 as backdrop to the session's broadly defensive tone.
