Crypto Fear & Greed Index stalls at 20 even as total market cap returns above $3T

The crypto market is showing signs of price stabilization, but sentiment is struggling to keep up. 

New data from CoinMarketCap’s Fear and Greed Dashboard shows the Crypto Fear & Greed Index holding at 20, placing the market firmly in the “Fear” zone despite mild recoveries across major assets.

The index reading reflects a notable improvement from yesterday’s 18 and last week’s extreme low of 11, but it signals that broader investor confidence remains fragile. 

Just a month ago, the same index sat at a neutral 42 — underscoring how sharp the sentiment collapse has been during November’s drawdowns.
