Crypto markets traded mostly lower over the past 24 hours, with sector-wide declines reflecting a cautious risk environment as investor sentiment remained in extreme fear. Coingecko data shows the NFT sector leading losses with a sharp 7.38% drop, erasing much of the previous session’s gains, while most other sectors also moved into the red. In contrast, the AI and SocialFi sectors showed relative resilience, posting modest gains. Crypto market sentiment has remained in extreme fear for 14 consecutive days, surpassing panic levels seen during the 2022 FTX collapse, even as Bitcoin trades near $88,650, far above the $16,000 lows of that period.
