BTC pulled back nearly $2,000 from yesterday’s $73,677 to $71,757 — erasing the previous day’s gains. The Fear & Greed Index ticked up one point to 16 but remains firmly in extreme fear territory. V3.7 Scalper’s GRID BOTTOM HALT is the direct consequence — the price dropped below its grid floor. V3.6 continues its accumulation strategy, adding a 9th position as fear persists. The ETH market is holding relatively better with V3.8’s bull regime classification still intact at $2,219.
