Bitcoin (BTC) was down 4.69% at $69,181 as of 8:22 a.m. ET Friday, while a market snapshot showed turnover rising as sentiment weakened. The figures show heavier activity during the decline, without indicating whether demand strengthened.
CoinGecko and exchange spot data put BTC at $69,181, down 4.69% over 24 hours, at 8:22 a.m. ET (13:22 UTC). CryptoQuant’s snapshot from 8:20 a.m. ET (13:20 UTC) recorded $45.23 billion in 24-hour trading volume, a 94.20% increase. The Fear and Greed Index stood at 20, its “Extreme Fear” category, compared with 28 both a day earlier and a week earlier.
CryptoQuant reported exchange reserves of 2,601,503 BTC, down 0.09%. Its exchange-flow tally registered a net 2,335 BTC exiting exchanges. The SOPR reading was 0.9934, indicating that coins moved during the period were being sold at an aggregate loss. The reserve decline alone does not measure how selling activity changed.
In the same snapshot, the S&P 500 was down 0.35% and gold was up 0.15%. An earlier EconoTimes market snapshot put BTC at $68,961 at 10:53 p.m. ET Thursday (03:53 UTC Friday), with a 6.61% 24-hour decline. That was a separate price reading and measurement window.
