Bitcoin inched higher on Thursday, struggling to reclaim the $90,000 mark, as easing geopolitical tensions over U.S. demands for Greenland offered only modest support. Broader crypto markets saw gains, with Ether up 1.3% at $3,018.71 and XRP rising about 2%, while Solana, Cardano, and BNB gained between 1.4% and 2%. However, crypto prices lagged a strong rally in global stocks, particularly tech shares, and many altcoins continued to recover from recent losses.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reflects persistent market caution, standing at Extreme Fear (20) today, down slightly from 24 yesterday. Crypto traders are grappling with rising geopolitical tensions, stemming from Washington’s standoff with Europe over Greenland. Proposed U.S. tariffs aimed at pressuring Denmark to reconsider control of the territory have met strong resistance from European leaders, fueling concerns of a protracted trade confrontation. Risk aversion has rippled across global markets, with the S&P 500 falling 1.9%, while gold climbed to a new all-time high as investors flocked to safe-haven assets.
