Bitcoin briefly slipped to $57,800.19 on July 1, 2026, its lowest level in weeks, before recovering to trade at $58,904.32 as the new month opens with the same pressure that defined June’s final days. The Fear & Greed Index has fallen to 11, a fresh cycle low that erases the marginal recovery seen at the end of June, when the gauge briefly ticked up to 15. Sentiment has now spent more than a week locked in Extreme Fear, and today’s intraday breakdown below $58,000 confirms the correction hasn’t found a durable floor yet. The defining story remains the same divergence that shaped June’s final days: Solana continues to outperform, up 8.43% on the week, while Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, BNB, and TRON all remain in negative territory.
