Bitcoin Shows Recovery, But Fear & Greed Index Remains In Extreme Fear
Despite Bitcoin's recent recovery above $72,000, the Fear & Greed Index remains in the "extreme fear" zone with a value of 22, marking its 35th consecutive day in this state. The indicator, which measures market sentiment based on factors like volatility and social media, had plunged to a rare low of 5 in February. Historically, prolonged periods of extreme fear have preceded major market bottoms, suggesting a potential reversal may be forming. However, the current bullish price action has not yet shifted overall sentiment out of extreme fear. Bitcoin briefly touched $74,000 before pulling back to around $72,300.
