The crypto market today is showing a minor pullback, with the total market cap slipping by 2.81% to $3.63 trillion. The intraday trading volumes too have taken a hit of 3.50% to $192.27 billion. The reddish numbers have come as a surprise, as Bitcoin claimed a new ATH above $108k. That being said, the sentiments are fairly optimistic, as the Fear & Greed Index continues to signal “Extreme Greed”.

Bitcoin Slips Again After A Fresh ATH

After claiming a fresh all-time high of $108,268.45, Bitcoin has cooled off, by dropping 2.44% to $104,018.21. The steamy run to new peaks was catalyzed by a strategic reserve proposal and institutional moves, like MicroStrategy’s recent purchase of 15,350 BTC for $1.5 billion. However, its trading volume took a blow of 8.76%, settling at $73.53 billion.
