This heightened level of fear reflects a significant shift from last week&#39;s sentiment of 39, which was classified as fear, showing a continued slide in investor confidence. However, the market capitalization has seen a slight uptick, suggesting some resilience despite the broader apprehension in the market.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc1UH61YZujnvp6M34SekQdRLN_FrR_V7m_Y47NOhmiZe-FwdfY3_XkZdzhyPvvgsxciWDng3D_ctasYRDx_-7ZGh2gtjOeOetvziIITFd7ldUV6Rwa4sgOdBXyi9lT6MFTX0fapcvptn3En1or4GcjX86P?key&#61;qinxwNyJw2eNR2JJ9_ChqQ" />While the Fear and Greed Index shows growing caution, the overall market capitalization has risen by 0.85% to $2.15 trillion. This modest recovery signals that, despite the current climate of fear, capital is still flowing into the market. Notably, this movement hints that certain investors are viewing the current downturn as a potential opportunity to acquire assets at lower prices. The rising market cap comes during a period of heightened uncertainty, where factors such as regulatory changes and economic conditions continue to influence market behavior.As capital flows remain steady, Bitcoin, trading at <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$58,873</a> at press time, has maintained its dominance in the cryptocurrency space, with its market share rising to 54.2%. This increase suggests that investors are turning to Bitcoin as a safer option during this period of uncertainty. Historically, Bitcoin’s dominance tends to rise when the market is under pressure, as traders often seek stability in the leading cryptocurrency. However, the broader market has seen a steep decline in 24-hour trading volume, dropping by 22.3% to $71.7 billion. This notable reduction indicates a decrease in trading activity, potentially a result of traders waiting for clearer signals before making large moves.<a href="https://cryptotale.org/market-sentiment-drops-to-extreme-fear-as-bitcoin-dominance-increases/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read more on Cryptotale.</a>Visit the links for more information <a href="https://cryptotale.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/cryptotalemedia" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://t.me/cryptotale_news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cryptotalenews/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram </a>|
