While macro data show a 2.7 % 24h market‑cap decline and high BTC dominance, entertainment‑driven spikes have historically nudged risk‑appetite higher for a few days.

This is especially relevant now because the market is searching for any non‑macro catalyst to break the current risk‑off regime.

The teaser trailer for Dune: Part 3 was released, revealing plot details, new characters and a shift in tone.
