Bitcoin Observes Longest Stretch Of Extreme Fear Since April 2020

2022-6-2 22:00

Data shows extreme fear sentiment in the Bitcoin market has continued for almost a month now, the longest stretch since April 2020.

Bitcoin Market Sentiment Remains In Extreme Fear Territory

As per the latest weekly report from Arcane Research, the crypto fear and greed index has continued to point at extreme fear this week.

The “fear and greed index” is an indicator that measures the general market sentiment among Bitcoin and crypto investors.

The metric uses a numeric scale that runs from one to hundred for representing this sentiment. All values above “50” signify greed in the market, while those below the threshold suggest fear among investors.

The extreme values of above 75 and below 25 imply sentiments of “extreme fear” and “extreme greed,” respectively.

Historically, bottoms in the price of Bitcoin have tended to form during periods of extreme fear. On the other hand, the crypto has observed tops during stretches of extreme greed.

Some investors think that because of this, it’s best to buy during extreme fear, while extreme greed is ideal for selling.

The report notes that long periods of poor sentiment aren’t extraordinary in the crypto market, but in the past such stretches have usually observed temporary spikes to better sentiment.

In the month of May, there was no such interruption that provided Bitcoin investors with a glimmer of hope.
