Fact Check
The statement is well-supported by the evidence. Source 5 (Phemex News) explicitly states that Bitcoin's price 'fell to $102K,' which is below the stated $108,800. The same source attributes this to 'Market Fear,' noting the Crypto Fear & Greed Index hit 27. While a score of 27 is technically 'Fear' rather than 'Extreme Fear' (which is typically below 25), the general sentiment of significant fear is corroborated by numerous other sources (2, 3, 4, 8, 10) reporting on market fears and negative sentiment.
