Crypto Fear and Greed Index Remains in ‘Extreme Fear’

Approximately 45 päeva tagasi, a Krüptohirmu ja ahnuse indeks (CFGI) hit the “extreme fear” range with a score of 22. That day, aprillil 15, the 24-hour bitcoin price range was between $39,823.77 ja $40,709.11 ühiku kohta.

Despite the gains during the past two weeks, the CFGI is still in the “extreme fear” zone and the ranking is even lower than it was on April 15. Kirjutamise ajal, the CFGI ranking score is 16 otsas 100, but it doesn’t necessarily mean markets will remain gloomy. The CFGI hosted on alternative.me measures market sentiment and the website notes there are two simple assumptions:

• Extreme fear can be a sign that investors are too worried. That could be a buying opportunity.
• When Investors are getting too greedy, that means the market is due for a correction.

Kuid, extreme fear can also lead to more capitulation and the so-called buying opportunity may be much lower. Or one could also assume the current time frame is a tiered buying opportunity and people are happy with purchasing BTC on the way down. The CFGI’s simple assumptions are just that, as they may be accepted as truths, but they may not end up coming to fruition.

On the same token, if “investors are getting too greedy,” as the CFGI says, it doesn’t necessarily mean crypto markets will correct. This means if someone took such advice they could be selling BTC at a lower point than what they could have made by waiting. Then again, there’s always the age-old investment advice that says there’s nothing wrong with taking profits along the way.

Crypto market sentiment, at least according to the CFGI, has been in the “extreme fear” region for well over a month.
