The fear and greed index data has a better score today of 75 under the greed category. For the last few days, the score stayed around 70 only after declining from the extreme greed zone. The extreme zone was the time when a lot of cryptocurrencies created new all-time high values.

The overall data suggest a better price performance today. But on a close look, most cryptocurrencies in the top 10 list of CoinmarketCap are facing issues. Ethereum is trading around $3286 after a 1% drop from yesterday, Solana price is down by 5% where the current price is $175, Dogecoin is down by 2.8%, and the current price is $0.1742, etc. The same is happening with BNB and Cardano price.

Bitcoin Is Making A Recovery

Bitcoin price dropped to a low of $64K previously, but as of now, the price has lifted to $67K. The price has surged 1.32% from what it was yesterday, and the trading volume is also up by 17%, pushing the volume to $36,398,625,752.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

The price fall earlier was a result of the upcoming Bitcoin halving. There’s still, many days are left for the halving event, so a few more price fluctuations might occur.

The user expectations are also high, as a long bull run might start after the Bitcoin halving event. Bitcoin is now just 9% away from its all-time high value achieved on the 14th of March, and the long bull run might push this value above the $100K mark.
