Well, well, well, it seems our dear metallic friend, Bitcoin, has finally decided to shed its cloak of “fear” and put on a more cheerful bonnet. On Sunday, the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index, that mischievous little measure of market temperament, managed to drag itself out of the gloomy “fear” pit after lingering there longer than a cat in a bath. Now, it’s sitting pretty at a neutral 51 out of 100, which, for those not keeping score, is about as exciting as a damp Sunday at the golf club.
Imagine the scene: Bitcoin, having seen its value dance up to around $115,000 over the weekend, has graced us with a sentiment score that’s only 11 points above Saturday’s 40. That’s right, the market’s mood has done a splendid somersault – a dramatic 20+ point jump since last week, making everyone’s head spin faster than a dervish on a caffeine kick. 🌪️
Now, don’t go thinking this is all sunshine and rainbows. It all kicked off when Trump, possibly in a fit of drunken bravado, announced tariffs on China, which sent the index tumbling from a greedy 71 down to a yearly low of 24. The crypto world responded with the grace of a herd of elephants, liquidating a rather substantial $19 billion of leveraged positions. Ouch. Always a cheery affair, isn’t it?
“Aggressive” BTC selling is waning
According to the savvy cryptic oracle, Glassnode, the selling pressure that’s been making everyone clutch their pearls appears to be easing up. In a tweet-scrum, they suggest that the tide might be turning – perhaps Bitcoin isn’t quite as eager to be sold off to the highest bidder. The recent data shows that the frantic selling has slowed to a crawl, like a snail in a marathon, indicating that our digital doubloons might be in for a breather.
Bitcoin’s funding rates, which tell us if folks are pounding the buy or sell button with reckless abandon, have calmed down below the “hectic” line of 0.01%. It’s as if traders suddenly remembered they had other hobbies besides watching their screens turn red. Over the last two weeks, the funding flip-flopped more times than a politician at a debate, leaning toward caution rather than chaos.
Looking into the future where the crystal ball often resides on Wall Street’s desks, the market whispers of another interest rate cut from Uncle Sam’s Federal Reserve at their October 29th meeting. The wise folks at CME Group’s FedWatch agree, tipping a 96.7% chance that the Fed will slash rates by 0.25%, which is about as certain as my Aunt Mabel’s obsession with her new gardening hat.
