Why is HTTP data sent in clear text over password-protected Wifi?

Why is HTTP data sent in clear text over password-protected Wifi?

In my home I have a router protected with WPA2-PSK (WPA2 Personal), using the passphrase.

When I try to log in to a page over the Internet (this page does not use HTTPS to log me in), all my data is sent in clear text (since I can see the password I typed in Wireshark).

Why is that? I mean, my WiFi is protected, so all the communication should be encrypted, right?
