Bitcoin is showing signs of consolidation while facing strong resistance at the 72,000-72,300 level. A decisive break above this zone could lead to further upside, but the current sentiment is still cautious. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana are also testing key resistance levels. The broader market sentiment, as indicated by the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index, remains in the 'Extreme Fear' territory, suggesting potential for a bottoming process and subsequent recovery. However, immediate upward momentum is lacking across the board.
