Published by

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a strong downturn today, with the global market capitalization shrinking to $3.26 trillion after a 3.76% drop in the past 24 hours. Trading volume, however, has increased by 3.72%, reflecting growing market activity amid selling pressure. The Fear & Greed Index has dropped to 35, signaling a shift towards fear-driven sentiment as traders react to the downturn.

Bitcoin Fails to Cross $100k Amid Market-wide Selloff

Bitcoin continues to dominate the market, accounting for 60.92% of the total market cap. However, the asset has not been immune to the broader decline, slipping 1.4% in 24 hours. While Bitcoin managed to touch a 24-hour high of $99,131.99, increasing sell pressure has pushed the price lower to $96k, contributing to the market’s bearish mood.
