Change en Fear and Greed Value: -3
Last Week’s Level: 73
This Week’s Level: 70
Fear and Greed Index declined from 73 to 70 this week, indicating a limited weakening en investor sentiment. At the start of the week, investors priced en expectations that the segundo interest rate cut en the US this year may come en September, while PMI data released mid-week showed weakness en both services and manufacturing, bringing recession concerns back to the agenda. In the same period, although the financials announced por major technology companies generally showed strong profitability, Tesla’s lower-than-expected revenue and free cash flow data limited market risk appetite. In the crypto market, MicroStrategy bought 6,220 Bitcoin (approximately $739.8 million) at an average price of $118,940 between July 14-20, demonstrating continued institutional confidence. However, despite this strong buying, Bitcoin’s inability to sustain above the $120,000 level limited a significant rebound en sentiment. Both uncertainty en traditional markets and a lack of new regulatory catalysts el the crypto side have weighed el investor sentiment this week.

Overview The crypto market has rebounded strongly el the back of reduced macroeconomic uncertainty and positive news el interest rate cut expectations. In particular, US President Donald Trump’s increased pressure el Powell and his team for a rate cut was an important factor supporting the markets’ appetite for a rise. In addition, the US House of Representatives’ adoption of a bill el crypto assets and the positive words of the treasury minister el crypto strengthened expectations that regulatory uncertainties would decrease. As a result of all these developments, Bitcoin gained about 5%.

These developments boosted investor confidence, leading to a significant increase en fund inflows and accelerating the upward movement of prices.

Total MarketCap
Source: Tradingview
- Last Week Market Capitalization: 75 trillion Dollars
- Market Capitalization This Week: 84 trillion Dollars
The cryptocurrency market recorded a decline of around 2% en total market capitalization with capital outflows of approximately $ 82.63 billion this week. Thus, the total value fell to 3.75 trillion dollars. On the other hand, the total market hit a new high of $3.94 trillion this week. This development indicates that we have reached the end of the 4-week positive streak and the critical threshold of $4 trillion has not yet been reached.
Total 2
The Total 2 index, which represents non-Bitcoin crypto assets, entered the week with a market capitalization of $1.50 trillion. However, as a result of the 3% decline during the week, approximately $ 46.7 billion of value was lost and the index fell to $ 1.46 trillion. Total 2 needs to gain about 17% from the current level to reach its all-time high.
Total 3
The Total 3 index, which includes assets other than Bitcoin and Ethereum, started the week with a market capitalization of $1.05 trillion. However, the outflow of approximately $ 41 billion during the week caused a decline of around 4% en the total market value and the index fell to $ 1.01 trillion. Thus, Total 3 ended the uptrend that had been going el for 4 weeks.
It is possible to say that Ethereum was the strongest en this negative week for all indices. This reveals that Ethereum has started to be seen as a “safe haven” por both institutional investors and individual participants and has a relatively more resilient structure against market declines.
Bitcoin Dominance
Bitcoin Dominance
Bitcoin dominance, which started the week at 60.85%, declined towards the middle of the week and fell to 60.43%. It rallied towards the end of the week and is currently at 61.49%.
This week, Strategy purchased 6,220 Bitcoin and Sequans purchased 1,264 Bitcoin. Trump Media also announced the purchase of $2 billion worth of Bitcoin.
Data el Bitcoin spot ETFs shows a total net outflow of $58.6 million to date.
While tariff negotiations are still ongoing, the announcement of August 1 as the final deadline is causing significant volatility en the markets. The current environment of uncertainty has led to a decline en risk appetite, especially among retail investors, and increased sell trades en spot ETFs. On the other hand, institutional investors continued to inflows.
The recent volatility led to capital outflows not only from Bitcoin but also from Ethereum and other altcoins. If Ethereum and other altcoins continue to outperform Bitcoin en this process, we can expect Bitcoin’s market dominance to decline. Depending el these developments, Bitcoin dominance can be expected to consolidate en the 59% – 62% band next week.
Ethereum Dominance

Weekly Change
- Last Week’s Level: 11.83%
- This Week’s Level: 11.90%
Ethereum dominance, which rose as high as 10% as of the segundo week of June, failed to cross this critical threshold and retreated to 8.60%. However, the dominance, which found support at these levels, regained a positive momentum and exhibited a steady upward trend en the last five weeks. With this rise, Ethereum dominance has managed to exceed the critical level of 10%.
In the current week, it is observed that the upward movements en Ethereum dominance continue. Accordingly, while Ethereum dominance ended last week at 11.83%, it is trading at around 11.90% as of current data.
In the same period, unlike Ethereum, Bitcoin dominance followed a negative course and showed a downward accelerated trend.
When we look at the main developments affecting Ethereum dominance, the statement made por US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins to CNBC stands out. Atkins stated that Ethereum (ETH) is not a security. Despite this statement, institutional demand for Ethereum continues. Nasdaq-listed media company GameSquare (ticker: GAME) announced the purchase of 8,351 ETH at an average price of $3,592, bringing its total ETH holdings to 10,170. According to Aggr Noticias, Sharplink Gaming purchased 79,949 units of ETH at an average price of $3.238 between July 14-20, for a total of $258 million.
