Data shows the crypto market fear has been mirroring the volatility in the market recently, as the latest burst in the price of Bitcoin has improved investor sentiment.

Crypto Fear And Greed Index Escapes Out Of “Extreme Fear” Zone

The “fear and greed index” is an indicator that tells us about the general sentiment among investors in the cryptocurrency market.

The metric uses a numeric scale that runs from zero to hundred for displaying this sentiment. All values above fifty signify greed in the market, while those below the threshold suggest fear amongst the investors.

Besides these two, there also exist two special sentiments called the “extreme fear” and the “extreme greed.” These take place at values lower than 25 and greater than 75, respectively.

The significance of these zones is that coins like Bitcoin have historically observed bottom (extreme fear) and top (extreme greed) formations during such periods.

Now, here is a chart from this week’s Arcane Research report that shows the trend in the crypto fear and greed index over the past year:

As you can see in the above graph, the crypto fear and greed index had been moving sideways in the 20 to 25 range for over a month when the report came out, which was two days ago.

During this period of stagnation, the volatility in the market was pretty low as Bitcoin and others had all been consolidating hard.

In the last couple of days, however, this has clearly changed as BTC’s price has shot up. As a result of this fresh volatility, this is how the fear and greed index’s value looks like today:

The crypto market sentiment has improved in the last two days, exiting the extreme fear zone, but still finding itself inside fear.

The investor mentality mirroring the volatility isn’t a surprise, as the two are related. The index also accounts for this, as 25% of its value depends on the volatility metric.

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.
