Widespread Declines Among Top 10 Tokens

Most major cryptocurrencies have witnessed declines in the past 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. Among them, SOL, DOGE, and LINK have suffered the most, plummeting by 44.84%, 40.39%, and 39.89% respectively in the past 30 days. ADA and XRP followed closely behind, with losses of 30.15% and 25.95% respectively over the same period.

Market Sentiment

Of note, alternative data reveals that the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has dropped from a neutral 49 yesterday to an "extreme fear" level of 25 today. While not an infallible indicator, historical patterns suggest that when market sentiment reaches extreme fear, the market may be nearing a short-term bottom.
