Market Observation as of January 8:

The Bitcoin Dominance Index (BTC.D) is currently at 58.91, continuing to hover below the 59 level. From the overall trend, this indicator still shows a downward momentum, reflecting the relative weakening of Bitcoin's weight in the entire crypto market.

On the sentiment side, the Fear and Greed Index has dropped to 28, clearly in the fear zone. This indicates that market participants' risk appetite is significantly decreasing, and investor sentiment is becoming more cautious.

The technical aspect also signals some developments. Previously, mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum showed a top value of 9 on the DeMark indicator, which is often considered a potential turning point in technical analysis. A normal correction phase is now underway, indicating that high-level technical signals are gradually being released.

Overall, the decline in dominance, weakening market sentiment, and technical indicators reaching a top and correcting all suggest that the short-term market may still need to digest some pressure.

Dominance weakens again, fear index at 28, is this really a shakeout... --- Fear index at 28, hey, is this the signal to buy the dip? --- DMI 9 value hits the top, technicals are all messed up, when will it rebound? --- BTC.D breaking 59, is that it? Feels like mainstream coins are about to take off. --- It's just digesting pressure and releasing a pullback... I'm so tired of hearing it, when will it go back up? --- Such a low fear index indicates the bottom is near, I’m betting on it. --- A weakening dominance is actually a good thing, altcoins can breathe now. --- All technical indicators are at the top, now just wait for a reversal.

The dominance decline wave is back again, always so dramatic each time. Fear index at 28? It means everyone is scared, so maybe it's a good time to get in. Diemark 9 value hits the ceiling, technicals are about to release pressure... sounds like a shakeout again. BTC.D drops below 59, feels like it still needs some time to digest. Bitcoin's dominance weakens, is this time really different from the past? With the current market sentiment, I'm actually a bit excited.

Here we go again talking about pressure digestion, basically meaning it still has to fall. DeFi researcher, on-chain data analysis enthusiast. Obsessed with market cycles, believe in long-term holding. Please generate a comment based on your account characteristics: --- 28 is really a harsh number, basically indicating that people's confidence has dispersed. --- If btc.d can't break 59, it feels like there's nothing to watch anymore. Let's wait for a rebound and see. --- The decline in dominance has been obvious for a while; it's late to mention it now... --- Digest pressure? Instead of waiting, it's better to buy the dip. I'm just lurking here. --- The technical top narrative is heard every year; the key still depends on how on-chain funds move.

Fear Index 28? Haha, starting to play psychological games again. This might actually be a good opportunity. --- BTC.D can't break 59, feels like it needs to stay sideways for a while. --- Whenever the DeMark 9 value appears, people start talking about a turning point. I'm tired of this explanation; let's just watch the volume. --- Low sentiment might actually be a sign to buy the dip. No matter how much history teaches us, it never seems to help. --- A decline in dominance isn't surprising. If Bitcoin lacks momentum this round, other coins will take the stage. It's a normal rhythm. --- Is the pressure being digested again? Feels like it's been a month already. If it's really going to fall, just drop it thoroughly and quickly. --- With the Fear Index at 28, I actually want to see how low it can go. --- Wait, what's the difference between this high-level signal release and the last one? Still the same old script?

Really, it's time to stay up late watching the market again. Can the fear index go even lower than 28? --- Dominance drops below 59? The crypto circle is starting to play again. Let's wait and see if we can catch the bottom. --- Diemark 9 has peaked and is now pulling back. Be honest and hold your coins firmly, don't make reckless moves. --- With such poor sentiment, is there still anyone willing to buy? I really have to admire that. --- Digesting the pressure? Maybe it still needs to drop another round. --- The decline of btc.d really makes people exhausted. Altseason is still a distant dream.

Fear Index 28? This is the real buying opportunity, don't be scared off by these technical indicators. --- Dominance continues to decline, indicating that this rotation still has to continue. Let's wait and see when the altcoins will rise. --- The Fear Index of 28 reminds me of the last bottom. Those still daring to buy now are waiting to get rich. --- Is the Dimark 9 value peaking? If everyone says that, it's just repeated tinkering. In the short term, it's just exhausting investors' mentality. --- Bitcoin's declining weight doesn't matter; it will come back in the end anyway. That's just the pattern of history. --- In this market sentiment, still fussing over technical indicators is too naive. Let's see if there will be large-scale inflows later.
