Data shows the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index has seen a bearish flip following the plunge in the cryptocurrency’s price to $113,000. Bitcoin Has Continued Its Recent Drawdown Since setting a new all-time high (ATH) above $124,000 one week ago, Bitcoin has been facing a downtrend. The bearish momentum has only furthered during the past day, with BTC hitting a low under $113,000. Related Reading: Dogecoin Coils Up: Triangle Break Could Spark 40% Move, Analyst Says Below is a chart that shows how the coin’s recent performance has looked. From the graph, it’s visible that BTC has seen a bit of recovery after forming a low around $112,400, but at the current price of $113,800, the asset is still notably below the levels from the last few days. As is usually the case, the bearish price action has worsened the sentiment among investors. Fear & Greed Index Is Now Suggesting A Fearful Market The “Fear & Greed Index” refers to an indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the average sentiment present among traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. The index determines the investor mentality using the data of five factors: trading volume, market cap dominance, volatility, social media sentiment, and Google Trends. It then represents it as a score lying between zero and hundred. When the metric has a value greater than 53, it means the investors as a whole share a sentiment of greed. On the other hand, it being under 47 implies the presence of fear in the market. A level lying between the two thresholds naturally corresponds to a net neutral mentality. Now, here is how the sentiment in the sector currently looks according to the Fear & Greed Index: As displayed above, the index is sitting at a value of 44, indicating that Bitcoin investors are fearful. This is a shift from how the mood has been like in the market for the past couple of months. The Fear & Greed Index was previously in the greed zone since June, but the latest decline in BTC’s price has meant the investors have finally let go of bullish sentiment. If history is anything to go by, this flip in trader mentality could actually turn out to be a positive sign for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The market often tends to move in the direction that goes contrary to the expectations of the majority, with an excess of FUD facilitating bottoms and overhype resulting in tops. This effect was seen in action during the aforementioned June sentiment low, which coincided with BTC’s bottom under $99,000. The turnaround in the asset only required an index value of 42, but generally, a more powerful fear sentiment is needed before a bottom can occur.

Solana started a fresh increase from the $175 zone. SOL price is now recovering higher and might aim for a move above the $188 resistance zone. SOL price started a recovery wave after it tested the $175 zone against the US Dollar. The price is now trading above $182 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $183 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it clears the $188 resistance zone. Solana Price Eyes Steady Increase Solana price extended losses after there was a close below $188, like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Besides, there was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $183 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading above $182 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $188 level. The next major resistance is near the $192 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $210 swing high to the $175 low. The main resistance could be $195. A successful close above the $195 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $200. Any more gains might send the price toward the $210 level. Another Decline In SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $188 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $184 zone. The first major support is near the $180 level. A break below the $180 level might send the price toward the $175 support zone. If there is a close below the $175 support, the price could decline toward the $166 support in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for SOL/USD is gaining pace in the bullish zone. Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for SOL/USD is above the 50 level.

Bitcoin has retreated from last week’s record high above $124,000, slipping by over 8% in recent days. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency trades around $113,867, reflecting a 6.3% decline over the past seven days. The correction has raised questions about the forces driving current market dynamics, particularly the role of large holders in shaping price momentum. On-chain data has pointed to a consistent pattern of selling activity from whales on Binance, the world’s largest exchange by trading volume. According to CryptoQuant contributor Arab Chain, these movements appear to be deliberate, with whales strategically distributing holdings near resistance levels. The data shows a series of deposits in the 100–1,000 BTC range flowing into Binance, suggesting calculated selling activity aimed at capturing profits while minimizing sharp price impacts. Related Reading: Crypto Founder Predicts The Collapse Of Bitcoin In This Timeframe Bitcoin Whale Activity and Market Distribution Arab Chain’s analysis highlights that Bitcoin’s recent dip to levels near $112,500 coincided with an increase in whale inflows to Binance. These deposits were not massive, singular transfers exceeding 10,000 BTC, but rather repeated transactions over several days, creating what the analyst described as a “coordinated distribution pattern.” This behavior aligns with historical whale strategies, selling gradually at key resistance zones, in this case between $118,000 and $120,000, rather than triggering abrupt market declines. The analyst also observed that despite these movements, the 30-day cumulative whale flow indicator has remained steady around $4.8 billion, signaling that broader accumulation trends remain intact. However, short-term pressure persists. The data shows that each rebound attempt by Bitcoin is met with additional whale deposits to exchanges, reinforcing selling momentum. If this trend continues without a significant pickup in buying activity, Arab Chain warned that Bitcoin could face further downside, potentially testing the $110,000 support zone. Broader Market Context and Institutional Positioning While whale activity has been the focus of near-term market analysis, other perspectives suggest a more layered view of Bitcoin’s position. Another CryptoQuant contributor, known as IT Tech, noted that institutional strategies such as dollar-cost averaging (DCA) via over-the-counter (OTC) desks and on-chain settlements also play a role in shaping demand. However, these flows alone do not always determine immediate price direction. Instead, IT Tech emphasized the importance of monitoring ETF inflows, spot cumulative volume delta (CVD), and exchange premiums, such as those on Coinbase, to gain a clearer understanding of market sentiment. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bullish Signal: Sharks & Whales Are Buying The Dip This mix of whale-driven selling and institutional accumulation highlights the complexity of the current market. On one hand, short-term tactical selling on exchanges like Binance creates downward pressure, while on the other, longer-term investment vehicles continue to add to Bitcoin’s demand base. The interaction of these factors will likely determine whether Bitcoin stabilizes above current levels or moves toward a deeper correction. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView

As traditional financial firms increasingly explore the integration of stablecoins into their operations, Goldman Sachs has made a bold prediction: the stablecoin sector could soon reach valuations in the trillions. This optimism comes on the heels of significant regulatory developments, most notably the recent introduction of the GENIUS Act, which aligns state and federal frameworks for stablecoin regulation. ‘Stablecoin Gold Rush’ US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed confidence in the role of stablecoins, suggesting they could significantly boost the market for US Treasuries. According to a report from the Financial Times, Bessent has indicated that the government may increase the sale of short-term debt to meet the anticipated demand for these cryptocurrencies. Related Reading: Expert Touts Chainlink Advantage Over XRP In Institutional Adoption Race Goldman Sachs views this moment as the dawn of a “stablecoin gold rush.” In a recent research paper authored by Will Nance and his team, the bank noted that the global market for stablecoins currently stands at approximately $271 billion. They anticipate significant growth, particularly for Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin, which they believe will gain market share both on and off the Binance platform. The report estimates that USDC could see an impressive $77 billion increase, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40% from 2024 to 2027. The Potential Impact Of Dollar-Pegged Cryptocurrencies The potential market for stablecoins is vast, with Goldman Sachs highlighting that Visa estimates the addressable market for payments at around $240 trillion in annual payment volume. Consumer payments alone account for about $40 trillion, while business-to-business (B2B) payments and person-to-person (P2P) transactions make up the remainder. The unique structure of stablecoins—requiring them to be backed one-to-one with US dollars or government bonds—means that each stablecoin issued directly increases demand for the bonds that back them. Some market analysts believe this approach will have a profound impact on the bond market, particularly for short-dated bonds, which often yield low interest rates. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Takes Major Step With Community Governance Model — Details A research paper from the Bank for International Settlements also supports Goldman Sach’s view, suggesting that significant inflows into the stablecoin market could lower three-month Treasury yields by 2 to 2.5 basis points within a short time frame. However, the bank’s paper also notes that the effects of stablecoin outflows are disproportionately greater, causing yields to rise by two to three times as much. Amid significant regulatory progress from the Trump administration, including the passage of the GENIUS Act for stablecoins, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC bill, there have been increased inflows in the broader crypto market. Significant capital has entered Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and there is a new trend of adopting cryptocurrencies as treasury reserves. These factors have led to a new all-time high in total crypto market capitalization of $4.17 trillion. As of this writing, the figure has dropped to $3.81 trillion, as the market’s largest cryptocurrencies have led the correction witnessed since last week.

TRON (TRX) has maintained relative stability despite recent market-wide corrections, recording only a minor decline of around 2% over the past week. The asset continues to hold above $0.35, reflecting steadiness when compared to other major altcoins. On a longer time frame, TRON remains in an upward trend, posting a 4.7% gain in the last two weeks. This performance stands out against a backdrop of volatility across the broader cryptocurrency market. Analysts suggest that part of this resilience may be tied to TRX’s relative strength against Bitcoin (BTC). Market data indicates that while most leading altcoins have shown weakness in their BTC pairs, TRON has demonstrated consistent momentum. This divergence has drawn closer attention from traders and investors seeking assets that maintain performance during corrective phases in the crypto sector. Related Reading: TRON’s Futures Map Says “Not Overheated” — Could Another Rally Be Coming? TRX Outperforms Altcoins in BTC Pairs According to data shared by CryptoQuant contributor Crazzyblockk, TRON has outpaced other major altcoins in weekly BTC pair performance. The TRX/BTC ratio recorded a 2.66% increase, while ETH/BTC remained nearly flat at 0.02%, XRP/BTC dropped by 2.28%, and SOL/BTC rose by just 0.85%. This distinction suggests stronger market demand for TRX compared to its peers. The analyst explained that TRON’s sustained performance in its BTC pair highlights growing investor interest and resilience at a time when other altcoins continue to struggle. “While most altcoins continue to face uncertainty in their BTC pairs, TRON stands out with consistent positive momentum, suggesting stronger demand and resilience,” Crazzyblockk noted. He further added that monitoring TRX’s strength against Bitcoin could provide signals of broader capital rotation toward TRON, especially if the trend continues over the coming weeks. TRON Network Expands as USDT Adoption Surges Beyond price performance, the TRON network has seen notable growth in its role as a leading blockchain for stablecoin activity. Another CryptoQuant analyst, Arab Chain, highlighted that TRON has consolidated its position as the primary network for USDT transactions. From January to August 2025, the number of cumulative addresses receiving USDT on TRON surged from about 5 million to over 35 million. This expansion shows TRON’s increasing use case for remittances and digital payments, supported by its low-cost and high-speed infrastructure. While the number of addresses may not precisely reflect individual user counts, the steady increase points toward broad adoption across exchanges, wallets, and decentralized applications. Arab Chain observed that the consistent rise indicates genuine demand and organic network growth, with new participants entering the ecosystem rather than merely reusing existing accounts. The trend also points to a maturing ecosystem for TRX as a central hub for stablecoin flows. The analyst notes that the platform’s ability to capture a large share of the stablecoin market reinforces its strategic role in the wider cryptocurrency sector. If this momentum continues, TRX could further establish itself as a foundational layer in the digital asset economy, particularly in the context of global stablecoin adoption.
