Greed Index drops into the \u201cextreme fear\u201d territory.<\/p>\n<p>Following a sharp decline in Bitcoin and other major digital assets, investor sentiment has deteriorated markedly, raising questions about whether a market bottom could be near\u2014or if more downside lies ahead.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"430\" data-end=\"482\">Fear &amp; Greed index falls to extreme levels<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"814\">The Fear &amp; Greed Index, developed by market data provider Alternative, is designed to gauge investor sentiment in the Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"814\">It does so by aggregating data from multiple sources, including volatility, trading volume, market capitalization dominance, social media activity, and Google Trends.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"1133\">The index operates on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating greed and lower numbers indicating fear.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"1133\">Scores above 53 suggest traders are becoming greedy, while readings below 47 imply a fearful environment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"1133\">When the value falls under 25, it is considered \u201cextreme fear,\u201d and above 75, \u201cextreme greed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1374\">As of now, the index stands at 22, firmly placing it in the extreme fear zone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1374\">This marks a decline from recent readings that had shown only moderate fear, signaling that market sentiment has weakened significantly in a short period.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1431\">Bitcoin price drop drives market anxiety<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1694\">The latest move into extreme fear coincides with a steep decline in Bitcoin\u2019s price.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1694\">The world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency has fallen sharply over the past several days, losing about 13% over the last week to trade around $105,600 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1696\" data-end=\"2135\">This downturn follows a broader sell-off across the crypto market, with other digital assets also posting significant losses.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1696\" data-end=\"2135\">The sentiment shift has been rapid\u2014just last week, the index recorded a similar low of 24 after a sudden market drawdown.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1696\" data-end=\"2135\">That earlier episode saw the index swing dramatically from greed to extreme fear within a short span, reflecting how quickly optimism can turn to caution in the volatile crypto environment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2424\">The market\u2019s current position mirrors past instances when sharp price corrections triggered widespread fear among investors.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2424\">Historically, such periods of extreme sentiment have often corresponded with significant market turning points, although not always in a straightforward manner.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2431\" data-end=\"2481\">Extreme fear as a possible turning point<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2483\" data-end=\"2804\">While a reading of extreme fear can appear alarming, it has sometimes preceded market bottoms in Bitcoin\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2483\" data-end=\"2804\">The relationship between sentiment and price has typically been inverse\u2014periods of extreme fear have often signaled potential accumulation phases, while extreme greed has tended to accompany market tops.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2806\" data-end=\"3034\">However, the connection is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2806\" data-end=\"3034\">The last instance of extreme fear led to a temporary bottom before prices resumed their decline, suggesting that investor psychology alone may not determine near-term price direction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3036\" data-end=\"3373\">As the market once again finds itself in a deeply fearful state, traders and analysts alike will be watching closely to see whether Bitcoin stabilizes or continues to fall.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3036\" data-end=\"3373\">The coming days could prove pivotal in determining whether this episode of fear marks the start of a longer bearish trend or the setup for another recovery phase.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/bitcoin-market-sentiment-turns-to-extreme-fear-as-btc-sinks-to-105k\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Bitcoin\u2019s Fear &amp;
