Date: 2026-04-09 (UTC)
+9.16 USDT | 6 trades | 67% wins | Sharpe 0.47 | Streak: day 2 winning
Despite Bitcoin (BTC) climbing above $72,000 today, pushing BTCUSDT to $71787.97, overall market sentiment remained in 'Extreme Fear' with the Fear & Greed Index at a low 14. Shadow Engine navigated this choppy 'Range/Unclear' market, closing the day with a modest total PnL of 9.16 USDT across 6 trades, exhibiting a 66.67% win rate. It seems the market's underlying trepidation, perhaps fueled by geopolitical headlines, is still a dominant factor.
What Happened in Crypto
BTC $71,788 (+1.0%) · ETH $2,190 (+0.0%) · SOL $83 (+0.9%) · Fear & Greed 14 (Extreme Fear)
Today's crypto market narrative was a mix of cautious optimism and underlying fear. BTC's bounce above $72,000, despite the 'Extreme Fear' reading, was reportedly driven by "Middle East hopes." However, headlines regarding Iran's crypto tanker tolls and a significant security breach at Bitcoin Depot, where $3.7 million was stolen, likely contributed to the prevailing cautious sentiment, preventing a more robust market recovery.
