Crypto Fear & Greed Index
Market sentiment weakened further as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index declined to 31 (Fear) from 33 a day earlier, underscoring growing investor caution. The broader crypto market's recovery lost momentum amid escalating geopolitical tensions, with the U.S. and Iran exchanging retaliatory strikes for a twelfth consecutive day. Adding to the uncertainty, Yemen's Houthi group opened a potential new front in the Red Sea, dampening risk appetite and prompting investors to adopt a more defensive stance.
