#数字资产动态追踪 The market is putting on an interesting show.
Gains continue, new highs are reached, but the Fear and Greed Index is only at 38, still lingering in the "fear" zone. This is a signal — many people's wallets can't keep up with their eyes. After the wild fluctuations in 2025, the market has become smarter, and caution has become the norm. The market cap share of $BTC has actually slightly decreased, altcoins are generally rising, the TVL in the DeFi ecosystem is growing, and on-chain activity is also climbing. These signs are in front of us, resembling what a mid-cycle bull market should look like.
But reality always loves to pour cold water. The Federal Reserve's policy direction remains uncertain, black swan events in geopolitics never stop, and regulation is always a question mark. Technically speaking, Bitcoin needs to hold steady at $90,000 to truly unlock imagination space, Ethereum needs to defend the $3000 level, and the momentum of altcoins depends entirely on whether funds are willing to continue rotating.
On the capital side, continuous ETF purchases are a plus, but redemption risks must be guarded against. Sentiment-wise — when everyone is in fear, it often happens that opportunities are brewing in the shadows.
2026 will mark the beginning of a new chapter, with many uncertainties lining up behind: how regulations will be implemented, progress on new ETF approvals, the true attitude of institutional investors, and technological updates on various blockchains... The crypto market is no longer a niche topic; it is integrating into the global financial landscape and becoming an unavoidable presence.
Whether bullish or bearish, don’t rely on feelings. Let the data speak, and let logic convince. Today’s trend, whether it’s the start of a new high or just a short-lived rebound, will be revealed by time.

It's the same old story again. The panic index is at 38, still claiming we're in the mid-term bull market. I wonder, who the hell gave you guys the courage?

Are you daring to boast about a mid-term bull market with a panic index of 38? I feel like we're still testing the waters. Can the 90,000 level really hold?

The wallet can't keep up with the eyes, this sentence hits home, that's exactly who I am...
The fear index is still at 38, still in fear, I really can't keep up.
BTC's dominance is decreasing, altcoins are surging, feels like rotation is starting? Or is this just what it should look like in the mid-term?
If we can't hold $90,000, how can we talk big later?
Opportunities brew during times of fear, but the problem is I have no money to get in, haha.
Redemption risk must be guarded against, how long this ETF can hold up is really uncertain.
Regulation is always a question mark, just annoying that point.
Starting 2026 with so many variables, let's wait and see.

The panic index is only 38, still dare to go long? Wallets are empty, just watching without daring to act.

Fear Index 38, still dare to say mid-term bull market? Come on, that's just funds still watching on the sidelines. If it really takes off, it needs to break through this psychological barrier.

Wallets can't keep up with the eyes, this phrase really hits home
The fear index is still at 38, remaining in the fear zone, indicating everyone has a defensive line in mind
BTC dominance decreases while altcoins surge across the board, the rotation pattern is emerging, it all depends on whether funds are willing to continue playing
The $90,000 threshold must be defended, otherwise it's all just inflated
Now it's just waiting, waiting for the Fed's signal, waiting for regulatory boots to land, waiting for institutional attitudes to become clear
Feels useless now, need to focus on the data
