Market Sentiment in “Greed” Territory
The Fear and Greed Index reflects that investor sentiment scores 73, indicating that the market is currently in the “Greed” phase. This is a considerable shift from the score of 49% thirty days ago, suggesting increasing bullish confidence among traders. This sentiment is also reflected in the balance between BTC longs (49.27%) and shorts (50.73%).
Several cryptocurrencies experienced notable bounces and dips in the last 24 hours. ApeCoin (APE) led the dip, which dropped by 6.09% but made an impressive bounce back of 70.12%. Jupiter (JUP) experienced a slight dip of 1.28%but rebounded by 9.54%. Other altcoins like Immutable X (IMX) and Beam (BEAM) showed minimal movement, dipping by 0.36% and 1.22%, respectively, and bouncing back by small margins.
Regarding liquidations, APE led the list with total liquidations amounting to $5.53 million, followed closely by BTC with $5.52 million. Other notable liquidations included DOGE at $4.80 million, SOL at $3.89 million, and DIA at $2.22 million. These figures highlight the continued volatility in the market as traders face margin calls on highly leveraged positions.
The crypto market remains dynamic and volatile, with major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum maintaining their positions while altcoins like APE and JUP experience significant price swings. With the market sentiment currently in the “Greed” zone, investors should remain cautious, particularly in light of the high liquidation figures, which signal potential over-leverage in the market.
