🌡️ Market Pulse: where do markets stand?
Facts and common definitions, not a forecast. Nobody knows in advance whether a fall becomes a long bear market or turns around - this shows where things stand today and what usually moves prices.
Crypto: how far from the record high?
| Coin | Price | 7 days | From all-time high | Record set | Where that puts it* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | $67,105 | -11.3% | -47% | 2025-10-06 | 🐻 Bear-market territory (20%+ below high) |
| Ethereum (ETH) | $1,894.06 | -15.2% | -62% | 2025-08-24 | 🐻 Bear-market territory (20%+ below high) |
| BNB (BNB) | $615.46 | -10.9% | -55% | 2025-10-13 | 🐻 Bear-market territory (20%+ below high) |
| Solana (SOL) | $75.2 | -16.1% | -74% | 2025-01-19 | 🐻 Bear-market territory (20%+ below high) |
Crypto Fear & Greed: 13 – Extreme Fear (30-day range 13–68).
* Market shorthand: a fall of 10% or more from a high is called a correction, 20% or more a bear market; a rise of 20%+ from a low is often called a new bull market. Crypto has had several falls of 70%+ in the past.
Stocks: the last 12 months
Compare where the index is today with its high on the chart - 10% below is a correction, 20% below a bear market.

The economy behind the prices (official US data)
| Indicator | Latest | A month earlier | A year earlier | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fed policy rate (effective) | 3.88% (2026-11-12) | 3.88% | 3.87% | The Fed's main lever. Higher rates make borrowing dearer and cash more attractive than stocks or crypto; cuts do the opposite. |
| 2-year Treasury yield | 4.86% (2026-11-12) | 4.77% | 3.56% | Moves with what markets expect the Fed to do over the next two years. |
| 10-year Treasury yield | 5.10% (2026-11-12) | 5.10% | 4.08% | Benchmark for mortgages and company loans. A fast rise often weighs on stock and crypto prices. |
| Yield curve (10y minus 2y) | 0.27% (2026-11-13) | 0.35% | 0.53% | Below zero ("inverted") has come before most US recessions since the 1970s - but not every inversion was followed by one, and the timing varied a lot. |
| Inflation (CPI, year on year) | 4.08% (2026-10-01) | 4.02% | 3.02% | The Fed aims for about 2%. Higher inflation usually means rates stay high for longer. |
| Unemployment rate | 4.10% (2026-10-01) | 4.20% | 4.40% | A rising rate means a cooling economy - it can pull company profits down, but also push the Fed to cut rates. |
