The crypto industry has had a relatively tough day today, as the optimism amongst market players has been losing steam. This has been evident with the Fear & Greed Index, which has dropped from an extreme greed score of 81 during early Asian trading hours to a current score of 78. This could also be related to Bitcoin facing a hard time in claiming the $100k mark. However, not everything’s sour, as XRP has continued its bullish leg-up and is currently up ~23% eyeing the $3 target next!
