$SOL Fear of economic depression could be the reason why the crypto market is paralyzed despite high expectations. Like any other 100% global stock market, the cryptocurrency market is also deeply influenced by two basic human emotions: fear and greed. Tools like the 'Fear and Greed Index' reflect precisely this collective behavior.

Right now, altseason could be on pause because we are in a period of global economic and regulatory uncertainty, which triggers 'fear'. Investors prefer the relative safety of mainstream assets, leaving altcoins in the background. Moreover, cryptocurrencies are especially sensitive to these emotional cycles due to the inherent volatility of the market and the speculative nature of many altcoins.
