The crypto market is currently in a state of “Extreme Fear,” with the Fear & Greed Index at 13/100, the lowest level seen in the past 30 days. Bitcoin is trading at $77,709, down 11.8% from its peak of $95,398 on January 14.

Main drivers behind the decline:

🔸Capital rotating into gold rather than risk assets such as crypto

🔸Broad-based market sell-off sentiment, particularly across altcoins

🔸Regulatory pressure from the OECD regarding crypto taxation across 12 EU countries

🔸Total market capitalization: $2.637T (–3.1% over the past 24 hours)

🔸BTC dominance: Maintains the #1 position in market mindshare (49.2%)

🔸Altcoins underperforming: Many tokens have declined 15–30% over the past week
