Sentiment
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reads 33 (Fear), versus 25 a day ago and 25 a week ago. Fear dominates positioning — conditions that, historically, have rewarded patient accumulators more often than not.
What to watch
- Bitcoin $66,000.00: a clean break and hold above this level would confirm renewed momentum; failure keeps the range intact.
- Dominance at 56.7%: a roll-over here would be the classic tell that capital is rotating into altcoins.
- Volume: today's $70.94B is on the lighter side, so treat breakouts with caution.
- Sentiment: watch whether Fear & Greed recovers from fear as price stabilises.
