Trading on the cryptocurrency market, like any other, may necessitate a detailed understanding of market dynamics to maximize profitability. Unlike hodling, which has a protracted holding time, trading involves regular buying and selling. 
<a href="https://u.today/veteran-trader-peter-brandt-spots-major-breakout-on-litecoin-ltc-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trading</a> with emotion has frequently been identified as a barrier to successful trading by various skilled traders. This is because emotional trading has various dangers and can result in a loss of funds. 
Buyer and seller sentiment often have a significant influence on cryptocurrency markets, resulting in a "Fear" and "Greed" situation. 
This is captured by the Fear and Greed <a href="https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Index,</a> which analyzes cryptocurrency market sentiment on a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 representing "extreme fear" and 100 representing "extreme greed."

Several cryptocurrencies, including XRP, Dogecoin, Compound and Optimism, were trading in the red in the last 24 hours, falling between 2% and 10%. 
According to<a href="https://www.coinglass.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> CoinGlass</a> data, the total value of liquidations in the last 24 hours has grown to $93.84 million. Long positions, predictably, account for a larger chunk — nearly $82.14 million of that total.
