The crypto prices in the market today have failed to retain the rally ignited yesterday. At the time of writing, an overview of the global crypto market reflects a broader red trading pattern according to the crypto heat map. As a result, the total market valuation has dropped by 2.28% to rest at $2.16 trillion.
This bearish momentum mirrors investors’ sentiment in the market as the crypto fear and greed index shows that investors’ confidence continues to wane, dropping to ‘neutral’ after briefly touching ‘greed’ earlier this week. Meanwhile, the price of BTC dropped to the $62k mark, and the global altcoin market, including the FTT token, plummeted at press time. How have the top cryptocurrencies reacted in the last 24 hours? Let us take a look.

The price of Bitcoin traded as high as $64,413 earlier today, but has retraced significantly at the time of writing.
