After the recent bullish wave, the crypto market is taking a breather with most altcoins entering consolidation mode. What's catching attention? ETF inflows haven't slowed down, signaling institutional appetite remains strong.
Here's the snapshot: Bitcoin is trading around $96,465, up 1.6%, while Ethereum sits at $3,326 with a slight pullback of -0.2%. The Fear and Greed Index has ticked up to 61, marking the first time sentiment flipped into Greed territory since October—a notable shift in market psychology.
On the macro side, total crypto market cap stands at $3.35 trillion. Liquidations came in at $453M, suggesting the leverage unwinding is progressing smoothly. This mix of consolidation plus sustained institutional buying could set up interesting moves ahead.

NGL institutions are buying aggressively, while retail investors are still struggling to see if they can double their investment. The gap is truly remarkable.

Institutions are buying aggressively, are old retail investors about to be taken advantage of again...
