[Financial News] On the 24th, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading sideways around the $87,000 mark. This trend contrasts with the S&P 500 Index on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which reached an all-time high on the 23rd (local time).
According to global digital asset information platform CoinMarketCap, as of 10:40 a.m. today, BTC was trading at around $87,000, down 1.09% from the previous day (24-hour basis). Over the past week, BTC has risen by 0.13%.
In the Korean won market, BTC is trading at approximately 129 million won. According to the global digital asset price comparison platform Cryprice, the Korea premium stands at 1.20%.
On the 23rd (local time), the S&P 500 Index closed at 6,909.79, up 31.30 points (0.46%) from the previous day, surpassing the previous all-time high of 6,901.00 set on the 11th. Driven by strong tech stocks, all three major indices on the NYSE ended higher.
In contrast, the digital asset market is showing overall weakness. While investor sentiment has improved in the U.S. stock market as concerns over an artificial intelligence (AI) bubble have eased, analysts note that there are currently no clear catalysts for a rally in the digital asset market.
Investor sentiment also appears to be cooling. The 'Crypto Fear and Greed Index' provided by CoinMarketCap stood at 27 today, indicating 'fear.' The index ranges from 0 to 100, with values closer to 0 signifying 'extreme fear' and those closer to 100 indicating 'extreme greed.'
At the same time, Ethereum was trading at around $2,961, down 1.86% from the previous day. Ripple was trading at approximately $1.87, down 1.28%.
