Crypto Market Dips Broadly as Fear Grips Investors

A small number of coins bucked the trend — UNI gained 2.7% and ADA rose 1.7% — showing that not every asset moves in the same direction at the same time. The market's Fear & Greed Index sits at 25, labeled "Extreme Fear," which means the overall mood among participants is very cautious right now; this index measures emotions like social media sentiment and price momentum to show whether the market feels nervous or confident.
