    How to read the market in two minutes

    • Price and dominance. Is Bitcoin leading or are altcoins? Rising dominance with a falling market usually means money is hiding in Bitcoin.
    • Sentiment. Fear & Greed tells you the mood, but not the next move. In the data since 2018, extreme greed was followed by better 30-day returns than extreme fear.
    • Leverage. High funding plus rising open interest means a crowded, leveraged market. That's when liquidation cascades happen.
    • The calendar. Fed decisions, CPI and the jobs report move Bitcoin within minutes. Know when the next one is before you open a trade.

    If Binance's futures data doesn't load where you are (it's blocked in some countries, including the US), the cards show this morning's values instead.

    Why is crypto down today?

    Check three things on this page. Funding and open interest show whether leveraged longs were being flushed out; Bitcoin dominance shows whether money is leaving altcoins for Bitcoin; and the calendar shows whether a Fed decision, CPI or the jobs report just came out. Most sharp drops line up with one of the three.
