Crypto's feeling cautious today. Major coins are sliding back after riding recent momentum, as the market shifts into consolidation mode. Everyone's basically holding their breath—digesting those gains from before and figuring out what's next.
The Fear & Greed Index sitting at 41 tells the real story: restrained appetite, stable but not exactly bullish. That mid-range reading suggests traders are neither panicking nor rushing in. It's that awkward middle ground where conviction wavers—plenty of buyers and sellers testing each other's patience.
Looks like a pause before the next real move. These consolidation phases? They either break higher or crack lower. Watch the key support levels closely.

Is this the fear index for 41? It feels like the market is still dreaming, the real test is yet to come.

The 41 Fear & Greed Index is basically saying "we're all gambling," which makes it really hard to judge...

The fear index of 41... indicates that everyone is waiting; this game hasn't truly started yet.
