The global cryptocurrency market capitalization has surged by 1.14% over the past 24 hours, reaching $3.43 trillion as of January 6. This upward trend coincides with the growing trading volume, which has climbed 9.45% to $95.72 billion, reflecting heightened demand-side pressure.
The Fear & Greed Index, a popular sentiment analysis tool for the cryptocurrency market, currently indicates a sentiment of Extreme Greed with a score of 76. This suggests heightened bullish behavior among market participants, often fueled by optimism and confidence.
Historically, the index shows a progression in positive sentiment. Yesterday's score was 72 (Greed), while last week's score of 65 also reflected Greed. Last month's sentiment score was 75, closely mirroring today's extreme sentiment level.
From a technical analysis perspective, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization (TOTAL) is showing signs of a bull flag pattern on the daily chart. This pattern indicates the possibility of an extended upward trend in the near future.
After hitting a peak of $3.73 trillion on December 17, the market experienced a sharp correction, dropping to $3.05 trillion before rebounding to its current level of $3.44 trillion. The formation of the bull flag suggests that further gains could be on the horizon.
The critical resistance level for the market lies at the upper boundary of the bull flag, around $3.62 trillion. A strong weekly close above this level could confirm a breakout, potentially pushing the total market capitalization toward the $4 trillion milestone.
