Crypto Sentiment Slowly Improves From Extreme Fear — What’s Next?

Happy Friday,

The crypto market has shown initial signs of stabilization over the past week, after rebounding slightly from a brutal sell-off that had erased over a trillion dollars in total market capitalization.

After hitting multi-month lows, the recovery has been driven by dip-buying and short-term structure changes. Still, overall sentiment remains firmly in “Extreme Fear” territory.

The market is still grappling with the fallout from the previous week’s deep correction and macroeconomic uncertainties.

Crypto Market Overview

The overall market has started to recover from the lows of the correction but continues to be fragile.

Here are a few summary points to quantify the market.

• Total Market Capitalization: The market is attempting to hold above its recent lows and is reading a $3.11 trillion figure.

• Crypto Fear and Greed Index: The index has slightly recovered from a reading of 11 to around 20-25. While this shows an encouraging rise in confidence, the market continues to be classified as “Extreme Fear,” which is a level that often comes before capitulation or marks major cyclical bottoms.

• The altcoin season index shows a reading of 21/100, which means that Bitcoin continues to hold the upper hand.

So far, Bitcoin’s dominance now sits at around 58%, while Ethereum’s holds 11.8%

Major Asset Price Update

• Bitcoin (BTC)

After touching a multi-month low near $80,000, Bitcoin staged a recovery after pushing back above the $90,000 level. This pre-holiday rally saw a temporary 13% jump and analysts are watching the $100,000 - $105,000 range as the critical resistance to reclaim to avoid a harsher fall in prices.

• Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum has lagged behind Bitcoin’s recovery but found support recently. ETH bounced off the $2,700 - $2,800 area, which acted as a short-term trampoline for buyers. The asset is currently trading around $3,020 and institutional activity has provided some underlying support.

• Solana (SOL)

Solana’s recovery has been choppy, with the price consolidating around $140 after briefly dropping to the $125 level. Institutional interest seems to be waning slightly, as Solana-focused investment products recorded their first single-day net outflow in the past week.

General Market Developments

The past week’s market narrative has been a combination of several factors, both micro and macro.

• ETF Flow Divergence: While the overall crypto market bled, institutional ETF flows showed a mixed picture. Bitcoin ETFs saw modest net inflows earlier in the week, but the overall trend has been more careful than usual.

• Macro Environment: The correlation between the crypto market and traditional risk assets continues to be one of the most watched metrics so far.
  Hopes of potential rate cuts for December have contributed to the recent bounce in BTC, despite the US market being shut for the Thanksgiving holiday.

• Stablecoin Growth: The combined market ca of all stablecoins has reached a new all-time high, of more than $280 billion.

• Contagion from AI Sell-off: The previous week’s contagion from the “AI bubble” burst in tech stocks (like Nvidia and Oracle) continues to weigh on the overall “risk-on” appetite for crypto
