Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index Hits Yearly High Amid Price Rally

  • Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index has turned green following days of significant price rallies.
  • The social metric’s value rose to 72 as of today, October 25.
  • Investors use the Fear and Greed Index to measure the prevailing sentiment within the Bitcoin market.

The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index has turned green following days of significant price rallies. The value of the social metric rose to 72 as of today, October 25, with Bitcoin trading for $34,125, just 3% below the recently established yearly high.

Today’s Fear and Greed Index value represents the highest level the metric has reached in the past year. The highest it achieved before this time was 69, and it got that high on April 17, when Bitcoin traded for $30,337, following a sustained rally from the middle of March.

Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index

Bitcoin investors use the Fear and Greed Index to measure the prevailing sentiment within the market. The metric is calibrated such that a value of 0 means “Extreme Fear,” whereas a value of 100 represents “Extreme Greed.”

As a social metric, traders apply the Fear and Greed Index to determine when there is a Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO), or when the market is in a condition of Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD). Usually, FOMO results when the market rallies and investors scamper for a share of the rallying market. They often get greedy in the process. However, the “Extreme Greed” gauge signals the rally is exhausted, and the market may be due for a correction.

On the contrary, in a falling market, “Extreme Fear” conditions signify the drop may be nearing an end, and the market may turn around. Hence, under the current conditions, with the Fear and Greed Index at 72, traders expect the rally to be nearing exhaustion, and a correction might be due.

Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index

Bitcoin rallied nearly 30% in the past seven days following a piece of false news about a spot ETF approval. The price has climbed above significant support as the bulls appear to have taken charge after a prolonged bear season.

Analyst: ETH Not Ready for Bull Run till Huge Correction

Image
Benjamin Cowen, a cryptocurrency strategist, is bearish on Ethereum (ETH) because the second-largest digital asset has failed to climb back above a key resistance level. In a new video, Cowen tells his 785,000 YouTube subscribers that the price of Ethereum is likely to go down because there is a lot of “anxiety” around the $1,800 mark. Cowen says that there isn’t as much “apathy” in the market as there was during the bear season of 2019/2020. “There’s so much anxiety in this level [$1,800 resistance level] like I think it’s much more likely to break down eventually… I will be the first to admit it’s taking longer than I thought it would. But I also don’t really feel that same type of apathy in the market now that I did back in 2019 and 2020.” At the time of writing, one Ethereum is worth $1,736. Cowen says that less people would care about Ethereum if the price of the second most valuable cryptocurrency fell to triple digi...
