Crypto Market Slips Into ‘Extreme Fear’ After Bitcoin Fails to Hold $100,000 Level
Crypto market sentiment plunged to an "Extreme Fear" reading of 10 on the Fear & Greed Index, the lowest since February, as Bitcoin slipped more than 5% in a week to just under $96,000, breaking the $100,000 barrier for the second time this month. The broader market, measured by the CoinDesk 20 index, fell about 5.8% over the same period. Analysts attribute the sell‑off to a mix of profit‑taking by long‑term holders, institutional outflows, fading expectations of a Fed rate cut, macro‑economic uncertainty and thin order‑book depth that has not recovered from the October crash. The confluence of these factors has left liquidity strained and heightened volatility across major cryptocurrencies.
