[LIVE] Crypto Market Update: Bitcoin Reclaims $87K Amid Extreme Fear

Crypto markets staged a tentative rebound even as macro warning signs continued to flash. Bitcoin climbed 2% to reclaim the $87,000 level, while Ethereum remained range-bound near $2,900, according to SoSoValue data. Gains were broad-based across SocialFi, PayFi, RWA, and Layer 1 sectors, with standout moves in TON, TEL, OM, and SUI, though AI and NFT tokens lagged. The rebound comes against a cautious backdrop highlighted by 10x Research, which warned that widespread optimism around 2026 is increasingly disconnected from underlying data. Despite the bounce, the crypto fear and greed index sits at 16, firmly in “extreme fear,” suggesting investor confidence remains fragile.
