After several days of selling pressure, Bitcoin is trying to regain some stability. It is trading around $77,700, up 1.76% over the past 24 hours.

The overall market capitalization is also up 1.50%, reaching around $2.6 trillion.

Major altcoins are following this recovery: Ethereum and XRP have each gained 2.16%, while Solana is up 1.53%. This is fairly encouraging, but we are still a long way from a recovery strong enough to signal a trend reversal.

What’s interesting is that investor sentiment has yet to truly follow this price rebound.

The Fear & Greed Index stands at 36/100, reflecting persistent fear in the market. In other words, investors remain cautious despite the positive moves.

Concerns about Binance, capital movements, and economic uncertainties continue to influence decisions.

There is therefore a disconnect between price action and participants’ confidence. The market is recovering, but not everyone is ready to take risks yet.

Liquidations reached $446.84 million over 24 hours. Of that amount, $287.14 million involved long positions and $159.7 million short positions.

This shows just how significant volatility remains. Even when the market starts to brighten, traders using too much leverage can quickly find themselves in trouble.

This is exactly the kind of situation where risk management becomes essential. A bad call can be very costly, even during a move lasting just a few hours.

So, should this rebound be seen as a fresh start? Not yet. Bitcoin needs to confirm its recovery and regain stronger levels before investors can feel reassured for the long term.

For now, I’d rather stay alert than try to anticipate the next rally.
