The cryptocurrency Fear & Greed Index has plummeted into the extreme fear territory following the crash in Bitcoin and other assets.

Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Is Now Pointing At “Extreme Fear”

The “Fear & Greed Index” is an indicator created by Alternative that uses the data of several factors to determine the net sentiment present among traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. The factors in question include volatility, trading volume, market cap dominance, social media sentiment, and Google Trends.

The index makes use of a scale running from 0-100 for representing the investor mentality. All values above 53 imply the traders are greedy, while those below 47 suggest a fearful market. Values lying between the two cutoffs correspond to a net neutral sentiment.

Besides these three main sentiments, there are also two “extreme” zones called the extreme fear (below 25) and extreme greed (above 75). Currently, the market is in the former of the two.

As displayed above, the Fear & Greed Index has a value of 22 at the moment, which is just inside the extreme fear zone. This is a deterioration compared to the last few days, when the indicator held normal fear values.

How the metric has changed over the past year | Source: Alternative

The reason behind the slide into the extreme fear territory naturally lies in the bearish action that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have faced recently. In particular, the market has suffered a sharp move down during the past day.

Last week also ended with a rapid drawdown in BTC and company, and then too sentiment took a large hit, with the index registering a low of 24. This previous turnaround in sentiment was also much more drastic than the latest one, as it took the metric from greed values all the way down into the extreme fear zone in a flash.

Historically, the extreme sentiments have held much importance for Bitcoin and other digital assets, as major tops and bottoms have often occurred in these regions. The relationship has been an inverse one, however, meaning that extreme fear can result in a bottom, while extreme greed can lead to a top.

The plunge into extreme fear earlier also paved the way to a bottom, although it proved to be only a temporary one. With the Fear & Greed Index back in the zone, it will be interesting to see how the Bitcoin price will develop in the coming days.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $105,600, down 13% over the last week.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
