Bitcoin accounts for 59.56% of the entire crypto market's value as of 19:00 UTC on Oct 24. That share grew by 0.05% over the 24 hours, and $BTC remains the heavyweight of the market by a wide margin.
Mood held steady around it. The Fear and Greed index, which scores how bold crypto traders feel, reads 51 in Neutral territory, one point above a day earlier.
Dollar stablecoins, the tokens traders keep as cash inside crypto, total $304.20B, up 0.1% over the same 24 hours.
Bitcoin's order flow hit the 99th percentile of our records on flow toxicity. VPIN, a gauge of how much trading volume comes from one side pushing through the order book, read 0.1966 for $BTC in the latest window.
A reading this high means buy and sell volume are badly out of balance, with one side hitting the book far harder than the other. It is among the most lopsided flow we have logged.
The gauge measures imbalance, not direction. It doesn't say whether buyers or sellers are doing the pushing.
Since 2026, days in this low band saw a median +1.0% BTC move over the next 7d (n=53, base -0.2%, 1y of records). History, not a forecast.
At 70, the Altcoin Season Index on Oct 24 puts 35 of the 50 altcoins we track ahead of Bitcoin over 90 days. That keeps it below the 75 line where altseason begins, so the market reads as no clear season.
Seven days earlier the index stood 6 points higher. Bitcoin's own 90 day return is 22.1%, and the field around it is far apart. $BTW leads with 24x, while $ONDO trails at -0.4% and $DOGE managed only +3.2%.
Bitcoin's crowd is still leaning toward a rise, and the people actually hitting the market were mostly selling. In the 24 hours to 16:52 UTC on Oct 24, market sell orders outweighed market buys by 9,384 BTC. In the final hour of that window there was 0.77 in buying for every 1 in selling.
The long lean shows up on every venue. Binance counts 2.23 $BTC accounts long per short, OKX 2.12, and 65.8% of Bybit accounts are positioned to buy. Binance's top traders, measured by position size rather than headcount, sit lower at 1.65.
Ether carries the heaviest lean of the 30 coins we track, with 3.36 $ETH accounts on Binance betting on a rise for each one betting on a fall.
Across the 400 crypto perpetuals we track on Binance, 76 read oversold on the daily RSI as of Oct 24. RSI is a 14 day measure of how one sided recent gains and losses have been, and 30 or under counts as oversold. Only 20 read 70 or above, and the board average is 41.3.
$SOPH is the most stretched at 15.8 after a -18.7% day. $CT follows at 18.1 on -22.8%, then $BLUR at 18.2 on -10.3%.
At the far end, ORDER reads 83.0 after a +98.4% day, the most overbought contract on the board.
Bitlo, the dearest of Turkey's exchanges on Oct 24, priced Bitcoin at -0.4 bps against the world, a hair from parity. BtcTurk was the cheapest at -6.7 bps.
The Turkey Premium Index came to -0.04% (-4.1 bps), far shallower than the -22.0 bps average of the past 24 hours and the -19.4 bps seven day average. Five of six observed exchanges counted toward the reading.
Almost all of the gap sits in the dollar side. Tether traded at -4.6 bps against the official USD/TRY rate of Oct 23, and the crypto leg added +0.5 bps. That makes this the 14th day in a row below the global price across 38 days in our records. It is a price gap, not a trade anyone can lock in.
