Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Drops to 28 Amid Market Decline

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing tension as Bitcoin lost significant price levels, impacting investor sentiment. The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index dropped by 16 points to 28, the lowest since March, signaling fear among investors. This index has slightly recovered to 33 but remains in the Fear zone.

Key Events

Bitcoin started the week above $115,000 and fell below $110,000, triggering over $1 billion in liquidations across the industry.
Ethereum also broke below $4,000, with other altcoins like XRP and Solana following suit.
The Fear and Greed Index previously at a neutral 48 plummeted to 28 due to these developments.

Historical data suggests that extreme fear levels often precede significant market rebounds. In March, when the index was similarly low, Bitcoin was trading around $83,000. Currently, it is approximately $27,000 higher.

Market Outlook

The recent sentiment shift indicates potential for recovery, with some traders already positioning for a market turnaround.
Bitcoin's current prices may offer opportunities for long-term accumulation.
Analyst Michael Pizzino suggests that the current fear could mark a turning point, setting the stage for bullish momentum once selling pressure eases.

For a sustained rally, Bitcoin needs to reestablish above $110,000. Currently, it's trading at $109,220.
