Crypto fear index drops to 12 as majors fall; Bitcoin holds above $65K

Market sentiment slid into Extreme Fear with the fear-gauge reading at 12. Over the past week, Bitcoin hovered near $67,950, down 4.28% yet still above $65,000, while majors such as Ethereum (-7.45% to about $1,975), Solana (-3.64% to roughly $84.70), and BNB (-3.86% to near $617) lagged. Select gains in XRP, TRX, and BCH did not offset the broader risk-off tone.
