Bitcoin $77,020 FGI 25 snapshot

X user @ojofomo posted a live crypto market snapshot on May 24 showing bitcoin at $77,020, ether at $2,117.38 and market sentiment at “Extreme Fear” with an FGI reading of 25. The post also listed total crypto market capitalization at $2.65 trillion, 24-hour volume at $76.52 billion and liquidations at $370.6 million over the day. The figures matched the kind of metrics widely tracked across crypto dashboards, though live market data moved around the snapshot during the day. (alternative.me) Alternative.me’s Fear & Greed Index showed a current reading of 25, which it classifies as “Extreme Fear.” (coinglass.com) ### Why did the “FGI 25” line stand out? Alternative.me said its crypto Fear & Greed Index runs from 0 to 100, with 0 representing “Extreme Fear” and 100 representing “Extreme Greed.” On May 24, the site showed “Now Extreme Fear 25,” after a reading of 28 the previous day and 27 a week earlier. Alternative.me said the index is built from factors including volatility, market momentum and volume, social-media activity and bitcoin dominance. The site said the current index is for bitcoin, even though it is often cited as a broader crypto mood gauge across social media and trading dashboards. (alternative.me) ### How close were the posted prices to live market screens? CoinMarketCap’s live page on May 24 showed bitcoin at $76,598.99 and ether at $2,114.19 when checked, compared with the social-media snapshot of $77,020 for bitcoin and $2,117.38 for ether. (alternative.me) The same CoinMarketCap page showed total crypto market capitalization at $2.56 trillion at that moment, underscoring that intraday figures can shift quickly even within the same day. CoinMarketCap also showed a 24-hour bitcoin trading volume of about $30.37 billion and ether volume of about $16.81 billion on the live page. (alternative.me) The broader market page displayed a Fear & Greed reading of 38 on its own dashboard, indicating that sentiment labels can differ depending on the provider and methodology being cited. ### What did the liquidation number say about trading conditions? CoinGlass’s liquidation dashboard showed much larger totals than the social-media post when checked on May 24. (coinmarketcap.com) The site said 161,111 traders had been liquidated over the past 24 hours, with total liquidations of $940.56 million, including $868.28 million in long positions and $72.28 million in short positions. CoinGlass also listed a largest single liquidation order of $32.43 million on Bitget. The gap between the $370.6 million figure in the post and the higher CoinGlass reading later in the day is consistent with rolling 24-hour data changing as prices move and older trades fall out of the window. (coinmarketcap.com) ### Was fear showing up elsewhere in the market? CoinDesk reported on May 22 that bitcoin was trading near $77,700 while analysts watched support around $75,000 after a liquidation wave. That report cited CoinGlass data showing about $200 million in crypto liquidations over the previous 24 hours at that time, pointing to persistent stress in leveraged positions before the May 24 snapshot. (coinglass.com) Alternative.me said its next Fear & Greed update was due in about 11 hours from the time the page was checked on May 24, while CoinMarketCap and CoinGlass continued to update live market-cap, price and liquidation data throughout the session.
