Market Update – Pakistan | Date: 18 May 2025 | Time: 01:30 AM PKT
Fear and Greed Index is 74, meaning the market is in a strong “greed” phase. This shows high investor confidence and lots of buying. But remember, when too many people are greedy, markets often correct. The index is built using several inputs like BTC price volatility, social media trends, trading volume, Google search interest, and public sentiment surveys. This data is collected by websites like alternative.me. But it’s not 100% accurate — just like how people in Pakistan may overreact to one news headline, this index can sometimes exaggerate market emotion too.
BTC dominance is at 63.70%, meaning most of the market value is flowing into Bitcoin. This is calculated by dividing Bitcoin’s total market cap by the total crypto market cap. If dominance rises, it means people are choosing Bitcoin over altcoins. If it falls, it shows growing interest in altcoins. This data is available on platforms like TradingView or CoinMarketCap.
The total crypto market cap is $3.22 trillion, which is the total combined value of all cryptocurrencies. The -0.85% shows that the market is currently declining. Altcoin market cap is $1.17 trillion, down by -1.82%, meaning altcoins are underperforming — either being sold or losing value.
Main coin prices:
• BTC: $103,173.91 | down -0.66%

These numbers are sourced from exchanges like Binance and data websites like CoinGecko. Together, these indicators help you read market mood and possible price direction, but they are not perfect — you must combine them with your own research for better decision-making.
