That’s the highest low since 20 September, when it was $10,814.48. On the 28 September, 2019, the closing price was $8,245.92.

Bitcoin volume

The volume traded yesterday was $22,720,365,389 – up from $18,016,880,214 the day before. That’s the highest daily volume since 24 September.

Market capitalisation

Bitcoin’s market capitalisation as of yesterday was $198,373,626,496, down from $199,347,495,686 the day before. To put that into context, Jeff Bezos is now worth $175.3 billion. This means he can only afford to buy 87.37% of all bitcoin. Not getting any better for poor old Jeff, is it?

Fear and Greed Index

Sentiment is back down at 45, up from 43 yesterday. We’ve spent just 1 day outside the Fear zone since the massive drop out of Extreme Greed on 4 September, despite the price remaining relatively stable at just below $11,000. 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. Are we set for a big move?
