The crypto market capitalization stands at $2.45 trillion after a green wave swept across trading boards and brought fresh air for investors. Before getting carried away by today’s green color, it is worth checking whether the underlying foundation is strong enough to support the newly ignited enthusiasm.
Is This a Real Trend Reversal?
Today’s Fear & Greed Index jumped to 62, signaling that market participants have become optimistic again and entered Greed territory. However, looking back, the average of this index over the last seven days was only 33.9. Such rapid leaps in sentiment are usually prone to corrections. This instant rise was also driven more by massive short-position liquidations in the futures market, rather than fundamental changes in the spot market demand structure.
Bearish Dominance Behind the Green Screen
At first glance, the market looks bullish as 75% of coins recorded price gains on a daily basis. However, when looking deeper, technical indicators tell a different story. Out of the dozens of major crypto assets monitored, only 11 assets are in a bullish trend. Meanwhile, 49 other assets remain stuck in the bearish zone. This wide gap shows that the recent price increases have not yet translated into solid medium-term momentum for most of the market.
The Entry Point Named Bitcoin
As new liquidity flows back into the market, its destination is clear. Bitcoin dominance rose to 58.7% today. This shift indicates that investors prefer to park their capital in assets deemed safer first before looking at other riskier assets. Although alternative coin prices were also pushed higher, this heavy Bitcoin dominance signals that market confidence in altcoins has not fully recovered.
For those monitoring market movements, these conditions call for caution rather than rushing in due to fear of missing out (FOMO) on the trend. Waiting for trend reversal confirmation from medium-term indicators is a wiser move before making any new trading decisions.
