Crypto Market Holds $3.35T Despite $1.8B Weekly ETF Outflows and Extreme Fear

The cryptocurrency market maintained a $3.35 trillion capitalization on Nov. 15 despite extreme fear readings and significant institutional outflows. The Fear and Greed Index plummeted to 10, its lowest level in years, while US Bitcoin spot ETFs ended the week with heavy losses.

US Bitcoin BTC $96 245 24h volatility: 0.2% Market cap: $1.92 T Vol. 24h: $76.35 B spot ETFs recorded net outflows of $1.112 billion from Nov. 10 through Nov. 14, according to Farside Investors data. The withdrawals accelerated mid-week. Outflows peaked at $866.7 million on Nov. 13, erasing the $524 million inflow recorded earlier on Nov. 11.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropped to 10 from 16 the previous day, according to Alternative.me’s tracking system. The index hit extreme fear territory. It measures market sentiment through volatility and momentum metrics. Additional factors include social media activity and survey data. Readings below 25 indicate extreme fear.

Sector Rotation Signals Strength

Altcoin relative profits reached approximately 5% of supply in profit. Glassnode’s Multi Asset Explorer data indicates this represents a historic divergence from Bitcoin profitability. The analytics firm noted the separation between Bitcoin and altcoin holder performance is unprecedented.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization reached $3.35 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $204.96 billion, according to CoinGecko market data. Bitcoin dominance held steady at 57.2%. The market posted a 1.3% gain over 24 hours, despite the negative sentiment indicators.

The current fear level approaches the March 2020 COVID crash reading of 8. Historical data shows extreme fear readings below 20 occurred only during major market capitulation events.
