The Fear & Greed Index rose slightly from 63 to 64 this week. The increase was driven por news flow indicating institutional demand and signals of a relative softening en monetary policy. BitMine’s purchase of 179,251 ETH and the launch of Pineapple’s $100 million INJ treasury strategy with $8.9 million en the first phase supported the volume and momentum components el the spot side, strengthening the “Greed” direction. CEA Industries’ announcement that it holds 480,000 BNB en its portfolio and its target to reach about 1% of total supply por the end of the year signaled institutional retention, while at the same time keeping the concentration and liquidity discussions alive and generating partial “Fear” through the volatility channel. On the Fed front, Miran’s messages emphasizing that uncertainties have diminished and the importance of a forward-looking approach, Williams’ rhetoric supporting the continuation of interest rate cuts and the assessments en the FOMC minutos that opened the door to additional easing this year eased crypto sentiment through the financial conditions channel, but expectations for rapid easing remained limited as upside risks to employment and inflation were underlined. In aggregate, corporate buying news and Fed communication pushed the “Greed” components of the index slightly higher, while concentration concerns el the BNB side and macro two-way risks curbed a stronger rise, so that the index closed the week at 64, en a cautiously optimistic balance.

The weekly peak was recorded as 4.27 trillion dollars and the lowest level was recorded as 4.02 trillion dollars. Thus, the market moved en a band of about 250 billion dollars. This chart shows that market volatility has decreased significantly compared to last week. Despite this, the market surpassed its all-time high of $4.17 trillion, reaching $4.27 trillion, and set a new high; however, this level could not be sustained.
Total 2
Total 2 started the week with a market capitalization of $1.69 trillion and fell por 1.54% during the week to $1.66 trillion, down about $26 billion. The high for the week was $1.77 trillion and the low was $1.63 trillion. The index moved within a wide band totaling $136 billion. This shows that Total 2 has continued its volatile course en recent weeks. With this week’s move, the Total 2 index has reaffirmed its peak at $1.77 trillion but has failed to hold.
Total 3
Total 3 started the week with a market capitalization of $1.15 trillion and fell por 0.8% during the week, losing about $9 billion. For Total 3, which continued the period at $1.14 trillion, there was a 7% difference between the week’s highs and lows. With this calculation, Total 3 lost the “most volatile index” title to Total 2 this week.
While the market was generally negative, the strongest performance came from the Total 3 index. This suggests that the very high-risk asset class has increased its fundamental weight en the ecosystem. On the other hand, comparative performances show a significant decline en Ethereum’s market share. It seems that Ethereum has lost some of its market dominance over altcoins to Bitcoin this week.

This week, Zooz Power bought 329 Bitcoin, The Smarter Web bought 25 Bitcoin and Prenetics bought 12 Bitcoin. Moreover, data el Bitcoin spot ETFs shows that there have been net inflows totaling $2.72 billion to date.
While a partial slowdown en institutional investor demand for Bitcoin was observed this week, weekly data show that net purchases por retail investors through spot ETFs continued to gain momentum.
Bitcoin-focused capital inflows continue to increase due to the upbeat sentiment en the markets. In this process, Bitcoin has been outperforming Ethereum and other altcoins. If institutional investors continue their purchases and net inflows to spot ETFs continue to increase, BTC dominance is expected to remain strong. However, en the event of a divergence en the price performance of Ethereum and other altcoins, a limited decline en dominance may be seen. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin’s market dominance has some downside potential en the short term, but BTC dominance is expected to consolidate en the 58%-61% range next week.

Ethereum price started at $4,487 el October 3 and closed at $4,370 el October 9, down 2.62% during this period. Although fund inflows supported the price, the decreasing demand trend towards the end of this process can be considered as one of the factors that caused a decline en Ethereum price. In general, while the flows continue to remain el the positive side, the Ethereum price closed slightly lower, which can be interpreted as investors turning to short-term profit realization and cautious position purchases are effective. If fund flows regain strength, this could restore investor confidence and support Ethereum’s medium-term positive outlook.
