Crypto Market Sentiment Returns to Greed
Crypto sentiment flips to Greed as BTC and ETH ETFs see renewed institutional interest.

- Total crypto market cap rose by 1.4% to $3.97T
- Sentiment index climbs from Neutral to Greed
- BTC and ETH ETFs see renewed institutional buying
The crypto market made a modest yet meaningful move upward, with the total market capitalization increasing by 1.4%, now standing at $3.97 trillion. This rise was accompanied by a shift in market sentiment β the Fear & Greed Index jumped from Neutral to Greed (62), signaling a return in investor confidence.
At the center of this sentiment shift is growing institutional activity. Both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have seen renewed interest through ETFs, which indicates larger players are positioning themselves ahead of potential rallies. BTC inched up by 0.54% to $114,771, while ETH saw a healthier gain of 1.70%, reaching $3,699.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Back in Focus
Institutions are steadily accumulating positions in BTC and ETH ETFs, signaling confidence in long-term growth. This uptick comes after a short-lived dip in sentiment, hinting that larger investors used the neutral sentiment phase as a buying opportunity.
Notably, this comes during a $148 million liquidation event β an indication that leveraged positions are being flushed out, often a healthy sign of market reset and strength rebuilding.
Positive Sentiment Could Drive Momentum
The transition back to βGreedβ on the sentiment index often acts as a leading indicator of retail participation. As the broader market gains confidence, we may see rising inflows into altcoins and increased trading volumes. Still, with relatively modest daily gains in top assets, the market remains in a cautious uptrend β not overheated, but certainly energized.
