Market sentiment: still cautious, not panicking

Total crypto market cap slipped slightly from $2.29 trillion to $2.28 trillion over the past day, with trading volume dropping from $57B to $49B — a quiet weekend, not a crash. The Fear & Greed Index improved from 25 (Extreme Fear) to 29 (Fear), so panic is easing slightly even though price action stayed flat-to-negative.
$BTC is holding around $65,000, well off its 52-week high of $126,198 from October 2025. $ETH sits near $1,927, also far below its yearly high of $4,953 last August.
One thing worth watching: XRP's CLARITY Act — the bill that would give it regulatory clarity in the US — just missed its window before Senate recess, pushing realistic passage into September at the earliest, with real risk it slips to 2027. That's a good example of why regulatory timelines matter as much as charts.
Not financial advice — just today's numbers. DYOR.
