Today, April 10, 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) pushed past $72,962, marking a 1.64% gain in 24 hours, yet the market is still stuck in an "Extreme Fear" regime. Shadow Engine navigated this choppy landscape, closing the day with a modest total PnL of 18.53 USDT across five trades. Despite the market's apprehension, our system found opportunities, even if the overall sentiment remains cautious.
What Happened in Crypto
BTC $72,963 (+1.6%) · ETH $2,245 (+2.5%) · SOL $85 (+1.8%) · Fear & Greed 16 (Extreme Fear)
The crypto market wrestled with mixed signals today. While Bitcoin surged past $72,962, fueled by inflation data, the Fear & Greed Index stubbornly remained at 'Extreme Fear' (16). Headlines cited institutional hesitancy and macro jitters, particularly around CPI and geopolitical events, even as some analysts noted a rebound. This created a 'Range/Unclear' market phase, where directional conviction was hard to come by despite BTC's upward move.
