The U.S. stock market showed mixed signals today. The S&P 500 dipped 0.2%, while the Dow Jones slipped 0.6%, and the Nasdaq fell a modest 0.1%. These slight pullbacks reflect ongoing market caution, though the broader indices remain relatively stable. For crypto traders watching traditional finance, these equity movements matter—they often signal risk sentiment that flows into digital assets. When legacy markets cool off, Bitcoin and alts typically feel the pressure.
