While the Fear & Greed index sits at level 31, 52.2% of coins in the market recorded gains over the past 24 hours.
Green numbers on the screen are indeed pleasing to see, but today the market presents two faces that need to be read together - not separately.
Green on the Surface, Bearish on the Charts
This increase in 52.2% of coins was not accompanied by significant price movement. The median price change only increased by 0.1% over the past day. This means that the majority of rising tokens only shifted slightly from yesterday’s closing price.
Beneath this green surface, the price trend structure is starting to falter. Out of the 86 major crypto assets evaluated, 50 coins are now in the bearish zone. Conversely, only six coins are still able to maintain a bullish trend.
Not Waiting for Momentum, But Staying Away
This decline in trend quality aligns with the loss of interest among market participants in searching for opportunities. Research activity on Analytics Radar #1 dropped sharply to 54.2% below the weekly baseline. Although Analytics Radar #4 was recorded as the most stable with a 1.4% decline, the other three radars still collectively plunged by more than half.
This drying up of searches confirms the signal from the sentiment index, which remains stuck in the fear zone. Market participants tend to step aside and hold their capital, rather than preparing to find the right entry point.
Money Flows into Narrow Gaps
As interest in major assets declines and Bitcoin dominance holds at 56.6%, the remaining liquidity is rotating into risky market niches. In the Solana ecosystem, Meteora’s top pool recorded a ratio of fees to total value locked reaching 5,969.209%. The pool processed $604,319 in trading volume in a day despite holding only $21,030 in collateral.
In another corner of the market, micro-scale tokens like TUT jumped 267.3% over the past day, pushing their cumulative weekly gain past 949.8%.
Today’s price increase across half the market gives the impression that stability is beginning to return. However, behind those green numbers, the charts of the majority of assets are sliding downward, and the remaining circulating money is choosing to crowd into the smallest tokens - a sign that the market is starved of new capital inflows, rather than preparing for a rally.
