Bitcoin’s price currently stands at $89,115.76, reflecting a notable 3.44% decline over the past 24 hours. This downward move aligns with a market sentiment characterized by fear, as indicated by the Fear & Greed Index reading of 28, categorized as “Fear.” The negative score of -0.5 on this index suggests cautiousness among traders, with a bias toward risk aversion.
Funding rates remain slightly positive but very low at 0.0072‰ per 8 hours, signaling minimal pressure from leveraged longs. Open interest is steady near $8.21 billion, just below its 30-day average, and has slightly decreased since yesterday. These factors imply that while some positions are being reduced, there is no significant crowding or extreme positioning in the market at this time.
Trading volume of approximately $1.78 billion over 24 hours is moderate and, combined with an ATR reading indicating normal to high volatility, suggests that price signals are reliable. The ATR confirms that recent price moves are meaningful and not just noise, supporting the validity of current market trends.
The Price-Volume-Volume (PGL) regime remains bearish, with a score of -0.5, reinforcing the short-term downward momentum. However, the Price-Funding Indicator (PFI) is neutral at -1.0, indicating no strong directional bias from funding and positioning metrics alone.
