The crypto market fell 3% to $1.27 trillion in the last 24 hours, with total trading volume declining more than 20%. The selloff follows a much-awaited crypto market recovery amid spot <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/bitcoin-etf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin ETF</a> speculations, the U.S. Fed’s two consecutive interest rates “pause” and Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish speech, easing macro and geopolitical impacts; and renewed buying by institutional investors.
The crypto market’s fear and greed index has slipped from 72 to 65 in the past 24 hours. However, the overall sentiment remains bullish.
