The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a key indicator measuring investor sentiment in the cryptocurrency markets, has remained at 35 points, indicating a continuation of cautious market sentiment. Calculated by CoinMarketCap, the index is unchanged from the previous day, pointing to a low level of investor risk appetite.
The index indicates "extreme fear" as it approaches zero, and "extreme greed" as it approaches 100. The current level of 35 points falls within the "fear" zone, suggesting that investors continue to act cautiously due to uncertainty and that confidence in the market has not yet fully recovered.
CoinMarketCap considers a wide range of data related to the crypto market when creating its index. The calculation takes into account indicators such as the price momentum of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, market volatility, the put/call ratio on derivative markets, the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR), and user search query data on the CoinMarketCap platform. This allows the index to reflect not only price changes but also investor behavior and market trends.
Recently, global macroeconomic uncertainty, expectations regarding central bank monetary policy, and the price volatility of crypto assets have been cited as major factors restraining investor risk appetite. The fact that the index has remained at the same level for several days also indicates that the market is struggling to find a new direction.
Analysts note that the Fear & Greed Index alone is not sufficient for making investment decisions, but it is considered an important indicator for understanding market psychology. Historically, periods when the index has fallen to very low levels have sometimes presented buying opportunities, while excessively high levels have increased the risk of profit-taking.
