📊 Chart of the Day

Fear & Greed Index — 7 Day Trend

Fear & Greed Index at 11 — extreme fear persists despite market recovery.

💡 Analysis: Index stuck in extreme fear for 10 consecutive days. Previous 10-day extreme fear periods in 2023 preceded 35% BTC rallies within 14 days. This time, institutional inflows into L2 infrastructure suggest the bottom is in, but confirmation needs a close above $61K.

👀 What to Watch

The $61,000 Line: If BTC closes a 4h candle above $61K tonight, expect a short squeeze to $64K before Asia opens. Conversely, a close below $58K could trigger liquidation cascade to $54K. Watch Cardano's Van Rossem hard fork activation — network performance will impact proof-of-stake sentiment.
