Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Falls to Lowest Level in Six Months
The recent crash in the crypto market, including Bitcoin, has driven the Fear & Greed Index to its lowest point in six months, now in the Extreme Fear zone with a score of 24. This index gauges market sentiment by analyzing factors like volatility and social sentiment.
- The index scale ranges from 1-100: Extreme Fear (1-25), Fear (26-46), Neutral (47-54), Greed (55-75), Extreme Greed (76-100).
- The current score indicates that investors are extremely cautious and hesitant to make new investments.
- This plunge follows a significant liquidation event last Friday, where traders lost over $19 billion in one day.
Historically, periods of extreme fear have been followed by market rallies. For instance, after reaching similar levels in April 2025, Bitcoin hit new all-time highs in May 2025. As of Sunday, the market showed signs of recovery with Bitcoin surpassing $114,000 and Ethereum rising above $4,000.
