Market update
18/07/25
Today’s Fear & Greed Index is 71 which indicates high investor confidence and market greed. The index ranges from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). However, it’s not always accurate because it’s calculated using indicators like volatility, trading volume, social media trends, BTC dominance, and Google trends. Whale activities or viral news can skew this index, so always rely on your own research too.
BTC Dominance is 61.43 percent, down by 1.31 percent from yesterday. This means Bitcoin's share in the total market has decreased and altcoins are gaining strength. For example, imagine in Pakistan, big investors were putting most of their money in BTC. But if people shift attention to altcoins like ETH, SOL, or DOGE, BTC’s dominance naturally falls.
Total crypto market cap is now $3.86 trillion, showing a 1.30 percent increase. Altcoin market cap has gone up strongly to $1.49 trillion, up 3.49 percent, which confirms money is flowing into altcoins.
Now coin-wise breakdown: BTC is priced at $119,220 with a 0.63 percent rise. ETH has shown strong performance with a 7.38 percent increase, now at $3,668.80. SOL is at $181.41, up 3.81 percent. BNB rose 4.60 percent to $759.08. XRP pumped by 8.54 percent and is at $3.52. The biggest move came from DOGE which surged by 18.21 percent and is now at $0.25. This reflects a shift in sentiment even toward meme coins.
This update gives us a clear signal that altcoins are currently leading the rally while BTC is holding stable. Stay alert, analyze trends, and always compare dominance, market cap, and sentiment indicators before jumping into trades.$BTC
