market continues to navigate a persistent bear phase characterized by "extreme fear" and low volatility. While the aggressive sell-off from earlier in the month has slowed, the market is currently in a defensive, neutral crawl as investors look for a macroeconomic catalyst to spark a recovery.
Current Market Snapshot
Bitcoin (BTC): Trading in the mid-$60,000s (roughly $66,400–$66,800). It is currently sitting nearly 50% below its October 2025 all-time high of $126,000, struggling to reclaim the crucial $70,000 psychological level.
Ethereum (ETH): Hovering around $2,800–$3,100. Despite technical upgrades like Fusaka, it remains under pressure alongside the broader altcoin market.
Altcoins: Most major assets (SOL, XRP, BNB) are seeing broad-based distribution. Solana is testing support near $100–$115, down significantly from its recent peaks.
