Market capitalisation

Bitcoin’s market capitalisation as of yesterday was $215,439,967,321, down from $215,742,068,895 the day before. To put that into context, Jeff Bezos’s net worth is $188,500,000,000, which means he could only buy 87.5% of all Bitcoin. You can’t have everything, Jeff!

Bitcoin’s market dominance stands at 61.16. Its lowest recorded dominance was 37.09 on 8 January, 2018.

Fear and Greed Index

We’re still in the Extreme Greed zone, at 78. That means we’ve only spent 7 days this month outside the Extreme Greed zone. Extreme fear can be a sign that investors are too worried, which could be a buying opportunity. When Investors are getting too greedy, that means the market may be due for a correction.

The daily RSI is currently 57.08. Values of 70 or above indicate that an asset is becoming overbought and may be primed for a trend reversal or experience correction in price. – an RSI reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold or undervalued condition.
