BTC’s returns in January stand at double digits in the red at the moment, closely followed by the small cap index which also has 10% in losses.
The large cap has also traced Bitcoin quite closely as its losses stand at 8% right now. The reason for its slight overperformance against BTC has been due to the strength of DOGE, NEAR, and ADA.
While the mid cap index has also mimicked the moves made by BTC, its strength has been much more as its returns for the month are at just 2% in the red.

The mid cap index has outperformed the rest of the market thanks to the strength of UNI and MATIC, two cryptos that account for about 20% of the total index.

The below table shows the percentage of the total market cap that the top coins occupy right now.
