Data shows the Bitcoin market sentiment has turned to greed again as the cryptocurrency price has sharply risen above the $25,000 level.

Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index Is Pointing At Greed Once Again

The “fear and greed index” is an indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the general sentiment among traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency market. The metric measures this sentiment using a numeric scale from zero to a hundred.

All values above the 54 mark imply that the investors are greedy right now, while those below the 46 levels suggest the market is fearful currently. The region in between these two zones signifies a territory of neutral sentiment.

Besides these sentiments, there are also two “extremes,” called extreme fear (occurs below a value of 25) and extreme greed (above 75). Historically, these zones have been important for the price of BTC, as cyclical bottoms and tops have generally taken shape when the market has held these sentiments.

Because of this reason, some traders think that the best times to buy are when the market is showing extreme fear, while the best selling opportunities take place at extreme greed.

This trading strategy is often called “contrarian investing.” Warren Buffet’s famous quote echoes the same idea: “be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”

Now, here is what the Bitcoin fear and greed index looks like at the moment:

As the chart above shows, the fear and greed index currently has a value of 56, which means that the BTC and wider cryptocurrency market sentiment has just stepped inside the greed territory.

Bitcoin Leads Gains Among Large Cryptos, What Does This Mean?

1 year ago

However, only a couple of days back, the investor mentality was still firmly inside the fear zone. The below chart shows how the value of the indicator has changed recently.

Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index

The chart shows that the Bitcoin fear and greed index had surged out of the fear zone when this rally first started in January. Since then, the values fluctuated between the greed and neutral territories for a couple of months until a few days ago when the price plunge lead to the mentality also falling off.

However, BTC got out of the fear zone fast, and as the crypto rallied in the past two days, the indicator also shot up. The sentiment towards greed has improved thanks to the price of BTC rocketing today, as the asset has now crossed the $25,000 level.

It remains to be seen whether investors will continue to become more optimistic in the coming days or if the sentiment will once again stagnate as it did earlier during the rally.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $25,900, up 16% in 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.
