Ripple (XRP) led the way down, sliding by 4.68% for the second session after the uptrend in the last seven days. Solana (SOL) followed suit with a 3.54% loss. Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, revisited the $20,000 level for the first time in nine sessions before ending the day with a 0.72% loss. Developments such as investors losing hope for a favorable outcome in the SEC vs. Ripple case also weighed on the broader crypto market.<\/p>\n<p>However, BTC has been trading within the $24,300 to $17,600 range for the past 103 days despite the breakouts and breakdowns. More importantly, the slump seems to have no impact on more mature investors. On-chain analytics provider Glassnode reported that mature investors are hunkering down and holding their positions rather than selling.<\/p>\n<p>With this, the total crypto market cap came in at $895.9 billion, down by $7.1 billion for the session.<\/p>\n<h2>The Fear and Greed Index<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25160\" src=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/switch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-9.57.26-AM-1024x434.png\" alt=\"Fear and greed index\" width=\"800\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/switch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-9.57.26-AM-1024x434.png 1024w, https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/switch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-9.57.26-AM-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/switch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-9.57.26-AM-768x326.png 768w, https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/switch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-9.57.26-AM-1536x651.png 1536w, https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/switch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-9.57.26-AM.png 1608w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite the bearish session, the Fear &amp; Greed Index, an indicator of market sentiment, held steady at 20\/100, indicating extreme fear. This is despite BTC sliding back to below $19,000. However, the index continue to avoid slipping below 20\/100, which indicates investor resilience. For the index to move out of the extreme fear zone, BTC must move above the first resistance level of $19,500 to support a bullish session.<\/p>\n<h2>Top gainers and losers<\/h2>\n<p>While it is too early in the day to talk about Wednesday&#8217;s market session, the cryptocurrencies that are showing potential strength are Polymath (POLY) and AirSwap (AST), up by 8.08% and 1.91%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>On the other end of the trading scale, the laggards include Ripple (XRP), which lost 10.16%, followed by Algorand (ALGO) and Storj (STORJ) that dropped 9.12% and 8.77%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>All data is from CoinSwitch&#8217;s live data.
