Behold the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index, a magical meter that gauges the mood of the crypto masses. It swings from 1 to 100, from Extreme Greed (when everyone’s as bullish as a charging bull) to Extreme Fear (when everyone’s as bearish as a hibernating bear). Currently, it’s sitting at a paltry 9, according to the wise folks at alternative.me. That’s right, we’re in Extreme Fear territory, a place not visited since the dark days of 2022. A 3.5-year low, no less-a feat as impressive as a wizard forgetting his own name.

On March 30, 2026, around 5:38 AM UTC, the organization deposited blocks of 2,047 ETH each. This is a significant step in their plan to stake up to 70,000 ETH—worth about $140 million currently—from their funds.

Since mid-February, Bitcoin has been trading around $70,000. Experts believe opposing factors are influencing its price. Demand for Bitcoin as a safe investment due to the conflict in Iran has kept the price around $65,000, while increasing U.S. Treasury yields are preventing it from rising much above $75,000.

The research note kept Buy ratings on three names: Robinhood Markets (HOOD), Figure Technologies (FIGR), and Coinbase Global (COIN). Each offers a different kind of upward slope.

In a proposal that makes wayward bankers blush, the team warns that LDO’s price is trading at a lasciviously discounted rate-63 % below its two‑year median-and has dropped a staggering 95.9 % from its all-time high of $7.30. The DAO argues that the market has truly “mispriced” the token, calling it “one of the most significant dislocations in LDO’s history.” If this were a soap opera, it would be the big reveal where everyone finally realizes the coffee shop’s true owner is, in fact, a crypto whale.

PlanB says the Bitcoin top is not in, and his Stock-to-Flow model still supports that view. 

Poor old Bitcoin couldn’t keep its chin up above $71,200 and promptly took a header. Below $70,000 it went, like a deflating balloon at a particularly gloomy party. The bears, those rascals, pushed it down to $65,000, where it formed a low at $65,030. It’s now consolidating losses near the 23.6% Fib retracement level, whatever that may mean to the uninitiated.

As reported by the ever-watchful SoSoValue, our brave twelve Bitcoin Spot ETFs now bear the scars of battle, suffering a collective negative inflow of $296.18 million over the last week. This is the seventh time in 2026 that these poor souls have retreated into the shadows, and the fifteenth since the crypto bear market decided to make its grand entrance in October 2025. A daily analysis reveals that the disheartening performance is closely tied to the consecutive outflows on Thursday and Friday-an unfortunate duo valued at over $396 million. And who could ignore the valiant $225.48 million outflow recorded on Friday, which stands as the largest since the fateful day of March 3rd?

Yes, you read that right. Charles Hoskinson, the Cardano wizard and IOG founder, has published a 337-page technical book on zero-knowledge proof systems. Free. On GitHub. Open for anyone to read, adapt, or use as a very expensive coaster. The book, titled “The Seven-Layer Magic Trick: A Complete Guide to Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems,” is available in all its glory, complete with a PDF, Markdown source, and a build pipeline that’s probably more organized than my sock drawer.

Miss the upgrade deadline, and your node will be banished from the network faster than a soggy biscuit at a tea party. No exceptions, no extensions, no “pretty please with a cherry on top.” This is the Core Team at their most ruthless-or at least, their most unambiguous-since the Open Network launch in February 2025. Whether this inspires market confidence or just a collective sigh remains to be seen.
