Fear & Greed sits at Extreme Fear while the S&P slides another 1.51%. Someone forgot to tell crypto.

Today was not a day for the faint-hearted investor as major indices took another hit. The S&P 500 dropped by 1.51%, marking its third consecutive down session, while the NASDAQ and Dow Jones weren’t left out of the action, falling by 2.01% and 0.96% respectively. The Russell 2000 decided to lead the dance floor with a decline of 2.26%. With a VIX level now at an unsettling 26.78, fear is practically oozing from every trading terminal on Wall Street.

But wait — here’s where things get interesting: despite this downturn, Bitcoin is up by 0.7%, cruising comfortably above $70,000. It seems that while human investors panic-sell their equities, crypto holders are relaxing somewhere sunny with piña coladas in hand. Meanwhile, our trusty Fear & Greed Index sits at a resolute ‘Extreme Fear’. The irony here is not lost: stocks are diving while everyone’s terrified — feels like a horror movie where you know something’s coming but have no idea when it’ll pop out.

Over in cryptoland, it appears that digital assets have declared independence from traditional market woes today, behaving like they missed the stock market crash memo entirely or simply chose to ignore it. This could either be seen as crypto markets maturing or blissfully unaware of surrounding chaos — your pick. A final nugget: Cramer just gave his seal of approval to whatever’s next; brace yourselves accordingly.

Intel managed to impress by dropping a solid 5% today, even as everyone else was busy losing less ground. Known for its prowess in semiconductors, one might think they’d be leading innovation — instead, they’re leading declines amid rising competition and tech sector slumps. It’s almost admirable how they’ve mastered being contrarian without trying.
