Crypto market today: Bitcoin rises 0.42% to $75,987; sentiment stays in Fear
Bitcoin rose 0.42% over 24 hours to about $75,987, while Ethereum gained 0.36% and BNB gained 0.65%. Only 73 of 159 tracked coins were up, and the Fear & Greed Index stayed in Fear at 28, so the gains were small and mixed. The likely reasons are cautious sentiment and regulatory news about crypto exchanges, which may be keeping traders careful.
What moved the market
- Gains were small and mixed: Bitcoin rose 0.42% and Ethereum 0.36%, but only 73 of 159 tracked coins were up over 24 hours.
- The Fear & Greed Index is at 28 (Fear), up slightly from 25 yesterday, which points to cautious trader sentiment.
- Bitcoin funding is 0.0036% and Ethereum funding is 0.006% per 8 hours, while Bitcoin open interest rose 0.22%. These are modest moves, not a strong shift in positioning.
- Exchange regulation is in the news: a FinCEN order targets MEXC, and Thailand plans to block Bitget. This adds pressure on exchanges and may weigh on sentiment.
