The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, a key indicator measuring investor sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, continues to remain at low levels.
According to the latest data, the index rose by 2 points compared to the previous day, reaching 16. However, despite this increase, the market is still in the “extreme fear” zone.
The index’s value near 0 indicates intense fear and uncertainty among investors, while values close to 100 suggest excessive optimism. The current level of 16 reveals that risk appetite in the market is quite low and investors are acting cautiously.
The index in question is calculated by combining multiple data points. Accordingly, volatility and trading volume have the greatest impact with 25% weighting each, while social media interactions and surveys each have a 15% share. Bitcoin’s market dominance also contributes 10%, and Google search trends account for another 10% of the calculation.
Analysts note that while “extreme fear” levels might be seen as a buying opportunity by some investors, uncertainties persist in the current market conditions. In particular, macroeconomic developments, geopolitical risks, and regulatory steps targeting the cryptocurrency market continue to shape investor behavior.
According to experts, a lasting improvement in market sentiment requires both a recovery in technical indicators and clearer signals in the overall economic outlook.
