full version at coinfomania

The crypto prices today have shown mixed reactions. While some coins have maintained the gains from yesterday, others have tanked and lost substantially. Some market participants have taken the initiative to accumulate sizeable amounts of coins, buying the dip pending the next market rally. Coinfomania previously reported that a prominent whale bagged over 56,000 ETH coins over the last 24 hours.

The downtrend witnessed in the broader crypto market can be attributed to the waning investor sentiment as portrayed in the crypto fear and greed index data. According to Alternative, the market has been struck with “fear” as the fear and greed index data rests at 29 after dropping to a low of 17 yesterday. However, the global crypto seems to be in recovery mode as its value has added 2.39%, now resting at a $2 trillion market cap. Let us look at an overview below.
