Big Moves for $PEPE, $PNUT, $BTC, and More—Daily Crypto Recap

The cryptocurrency market saw high levels of trading and volatility throughout its digital assets on November 14, 2024, which affected $BTC, $ETH, $PEPE, and other key coins. 

As demonstrated in the figures from Phoenix Group Company, the market cap, trading volume, and the fear and greed index also reflected the present bull-market status. When Bitcoin crossed $90,000, altcoins like $PEPE and $PNUT witnessed large double-digit percentage gains and losses, coupled with large volume liquidations adding to the day.

Market Overview

The market capitalization of cryptocurrencies reached $3 trillion, the growth of which indicates confidence in the industry. Currently, there is a trading volume of 302.47 billion within 24 hours, and the “Fear and Greed Index” reached 86-“Extreme Greed.” This points to a strong bullish bias and the likelihood of extended price increases, although it flags a possibility of mean reversion due to over-trading.

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) Lead the Market

Bitcoin remains in the limelight by trading at $90,704, occupying a market share of 59.7% among other cryptocurrencies. This dominance shows that Bitcoin remains the market king, and investors continue to invest in BTC during this rally. 

Ethereum also experienced some upswing, trading at $3,200 and holding 12.8% of the market. ETH, however, is significantly below BTC in terms of dominance, indicating that it remains a strong contender and has not lost its appeal to investors, especially with DeFi being employed today, where it has a total value locked (TVL) of $166, 56 billion.

Fear and Greed Index Signals Bullish Sentiment

The Fear and Greed Index, which is at stage 86 right now, indicates a quite high level of greed. This figure has improved from 65 a month ago and 74 a week ago, implying improved confidence among investors. However, as this index approaches 100, it is a caution that the market is close to a level where selling pressures could turn the market around.

Longs vs. Shorts: A Balanced Market

The distribution of Bitcoin traders shows that 49.97% of traders are long, and 50.03 % are short. Equally, 49.64% of Bitcoin holders on Binance are classified as long, while 50.36% are short. Such equilibrium indicates that while many traders believe that prices will rise, many more are preparing for the worst outcomes, which could quickly shift the balance.
