Dull Market, Bitcoin Trading Sideways

Crypto Market Last Week

After the initial drop at the beginning of the month, Bitcoin has gradually recovered and entered a consolidation phase over the past week. The price fluctuated within a narrow range of $56,100 to $61,800, showing significant stability compared to previous weeks.

This sideways movement reflects a cautious market sentiment. The Fear & Greed Index at 28 indicates that investors are still wary. Additionally, there were no major news events significantly impacting the price.

While Bitcoin remained stable, a few altcoins showed signs of recovery. However, most continued to move sideways in line with Bitcoin or continued searching for a bottom.
