The broader cryptocurrency market fell under pressure on October 4 as momentum from the sudden weekend rally in Bitcoin (BTC) above $49,000 was offset by more global concerns regarding the global financial system, rising inflation and supply chain challenges.
Despite these difficulties, many altcoins have managed to rally, and at the time of writing, the crypto-gaming and decentralized finance sectors have continued to grow in popularity.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24 hours are Axie Infinity (AXS), PowerPool (CVP) and Polkastarter (POLS).

According to Cointelegraph Markets Pro data, market conditions for AXS have been favourable for some time.
The VORTECS™ score, exclusive to Cointelegraph, is an algorithmic comparison of historical and current market conditions drawn from a range of data points including market sentiment, trading volume, recent price movements and Twitter activity.
