Bitcoin’s slight price decline over the past 24 hours came alongside a decline in crypto market sentiment, according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.

The Index, which measures overall crypto market sentiment, reads a “Greed” score of 66, down 12 points from its “Extreme Score” of 78 the previous day.

Cointelegraph recently reported that spot Bitcoin ETFs are on its way to potentially surpassing its monthly inflow record of $6.49 billion from November 2024. So far in May, spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated approximately $5.39 billion, with five trading days remaining in May.

Meanwhile, several analysts recently suggested that Bitcoin is not showing any signs of overheating despite reaching new all-time highs this week, pointing to fundamentals suggesting that Bitcoin could rise further.

CryptoQuant analyst Crypto Dan said on May 22, “Overheating indicators such as the funding rate and short-term capital inflow remain low compared to previous peaks, and profit-taking by short-term investors is limited.”
