On-chain data shows the Fear and Greed Index has dropped to 33, clearly in the panic zone, but the price remains firmly above $74K, even rising by 1.44%.
What does this divergence usually indicate? Retail investors are panicking, but smart money is quietly accumulating.
Even more interesting is that the funding rate shows -0.0079%, slightly negative, indicating that short positions have a slight advantage, but this figure isn't extreme.
