What it means for a beginner
- A weekly change is a snapshot between two moments, not a trend. Prices can move this much in a single day.
- Fear & Greed describes mood. A low reading means traders were cautious; it has no record of predicting what comes next.
- Dominance is Bitcoin's share of total crypto market value. It rises when Bitcoin holds up better than other coins.
- If a move makes you want to act fast, that is the moment to slow down. Read how to spot a crypto scam first.

New to crypto? What these numbers mean
- Fear & Greed: a 0 to 100 mood index built from price swings, volume and social data. Low means fearful, high means greedy. It describes mood; it does not predict prices.
- Liquidations: leveraged bets an exchange closed automatically because the trader ran out of margin. Large numbers show how risky borrowed money is.
- Long/short ratio: how many accounts on one exchange bet on the price going up versus down. A snapshot, not a forecast.
- Stablecoin supply: the total value of coins pegged to a currency such as the US dollar.
- DeFi TVL: total value locked, the money deposited in decentralized finance apps.
- 500+ BTC transactions: very large transfers, often an exchange moving its own funds.
