Strong crypto market activity persists throughout the global crypto market even though uncertainty remains present. The global cryptocurrency landscape showed a total of 32,973 tracked assets which gathered a $2.68 trillion market capitalization on April 13, 2025.
Current trading activity is intense as the twenty-four-hour trading volume crosses $76.92 billion. The crypto market reveals a steady recovery together with a conservative approach because money continues to circulate within this environment.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Maintain Control as Dominance Shifts
Bitcoin (BTC) currently maintains its leadership as the market’s benchmark asset while trading at $84,416 and controlling 62.5% of the total market share. Ethereum (ETH) operates at $1,613 with a reduced market impact of 7.3% of total dominance.
Decentralized finance (DeFi) impresses users through its growing $123.69 billion total value locked (TVL) despite wider market fluctuations.
Fear and Greed Index Signals Continued Crypto Market Hesitation
Crypto market sentiment remains on edge. Data from the Phoenix Group shows that the Fear and Greed Index now stands at 33 which keeps the market in the “Fear” segment. The current indicator sits at 33 points compared to yesterday’s 26 points while staying marginally higher than the 27-point metric recorded seven days ago and thirty days ago.
Mixed Trader Sentiment as Longs Slightly Outpace Shorts
The positioning data shows that bullish and bearish traders maintain a balanced ratio within the crypto market. The client base consists of more BTC longs than shorts by 50.94% to 49.06%. The sentiment on Binance has a slight bull advantage because longs make up 51.91% while shorts occupy 48.09% of total positions.
Escalating market volatility coupled with uncertain sentiment indicators has caused a split in trader positions which demonstrates an almost perfect balance between longs and shorts.
Altcoin Bounces and Liquidations Reflect Volatility Spike
Major price swings affected altcoins during the last twenty-four hours. Helium (HNT) experienced the most extreme reaction by jumping 26.15% after first declining 8.37%. The Zcash (ZEC) price rebounded by 18.83% while it declined 2.64% previously and JasmyCoin (JASMY) rose by 15.26% after losing 7.40% value.
The value of Pi Network (PI) increased by 10.79% during a 5.81% market correction and EOS experienced a 10.01% gain despite a previous 8.04% decline.
The crypto market instability has been cemented by this recent liquidation data. The chain leader in price liquidations became Bitcoin BTC which lost a total of $65.53 million followed by Ethereum ETH with $44.75 million in losses.
The combined loss from liquidations on Solana (SOL) amounted to $17.55 million and Ripple (XRP) along with Baby DogeCoin (BABY) lost $9.81 million and $8.89 million respectively. Forced asset sales during this period demonstrated the consistently risky status of trading operations throughout the market.
