Crypto Fear and Greed Index at Highest Since July -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-18 00:23

1223 ET - CoinMarketCap's "Fear and Greed Index", which tracks risk-on versus risk-off sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, is at its highest level since last July. The index is at 64 today, making for a reading of "greed." While the index is leaning towards risk-on behavior, dominance of bitcoin remains steady. Bitcoin continues to make up 59% of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization, says CoinMarketCap. That's down from 63% at this time last year. Ethereum continues to hold 11% of crypto's market cap, with other cryptocurrencies holding the remaining 30%. Major cryptocurrencies are mostly up today, with bitcoin rising 3.4%, according to LSEG, while ethereum climbs 4%, XRP is up 2.7%, and Cardano is 1.9% higher. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
