Crypto Markets Edge Higher Amid Extreme Fear Sentiment

Most major cryptocurrencies posted modest gains over the last 24 hours, with Ethereum (ETH) leading the pack at nearly +2.9% and Bitcoin (BTC) climbing around +2%. Chainlink (LINK) also stood out with a +2.67% rise, while UNI was the only coin in this group to dip slightly, slipping about -1%. Interestingly, despite these green numbers, the Fear & Greed Index sits at 25 — labeled "Extreme Fear" — which means that overall, many market participants are still feeling cautious and uncertain, even as prices tick upward.
