0900 ET - A gradual calming in CoinMarketCap's Fear and Greed Index appears to underpin an improvement in bitcoin prices this month. Bitcoin is trading at $71,400 this morning, making it 5.4% that prices have improved in the past month, according to FactSet data. Meanwhile, CoinMarketCap's Fear and Greed Index is at 37--off from a high of 45 reached last week, but considerably higher than readings as low as 5 last month. Readings between 20 and 40 are considered "fear," but some analysts call for upside in prices in the short-term. Hopes that the conflict in the Middle East may be getting closer to a resolution are part of the optimism. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
