$3.34T Crypto Market on Shaky Ground

May 30, 2025

Happy Friday!

The crypto market has experienced major changes in prices and sentiment over the last week.

Optimism has leaned more towards caution, and while Bitcoin is still trading above the $100,000 price level, it has experienced a slight pullback from the $111,900 zone.

The flagship cryptocurrency has dipped to around $106,061.71 after touching a high of $111,970.17 last week.

This decline was mostly due to the renewed tariff concerns from the legal back-and-forth with US President Donald Trump.

Despite this, institutional confidence in Bitcoin remains strong, with continued inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs.

The altcoin market has also mostly been in negative territory and has been tracking Bitcoin's slight correction.

Ethereum, on the other hand, is currently trading around $2,637.83 with a 1.5% dip over the past week. Other major altcoins like BNB, Solana, Dogecoin and XRP have also seen declines.

Crypto Market Summary

Bitcoin has pulled back from its highs around $111,970.17 and is currently trading around $106,061.71.
Market sentiment has shifted from "Extreme Greed" to "Greed," with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index now showing a reading of 60/100, down from 78/100 a week ago.
Bitcoin's market dominance is still strong at 63.97%, while Ethereum's dominance is around 9.5%.
Several altcoins are showing signs of weakness, with Ethereum trading around $2,637.83, Solana near $165.62, BNB at $689.65, Dogecoin at $0.21, and XRP at $2.22.
U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs have seen encouraging inflows, with $432 million flowing in despite the general market concerns.

General Market Overview

The total crypto market cap currently stands at $3.34 trillion, after dipping by 3.93% in the last 24 hours.

The previous week has seen stronger geopolitical uncertainty, especially around US tariff policies, which has affected the crypto and trad-fi markets.

In addition, macroeconomic pressures like the higher-than-expected US jobless claims and a 0.2% GDP contraction in Q1 2025 have added to the short-term market crab-walk.

In terms of market sentiment, the Altcoin Season Index is currently showing a reading of 24/100, which shows that we are still in a "Bitcoin Season" and that Bitcoin has been outperforming most altcoins over the past 90 days.

Overall, the market has seen a slight cool-down compared to last week, with investors mostly being cautious.

In the coming week, maintained institutional interest in Bitcoin could provide some much-needed support.
