Data shows the Bitcoin market has turned greedy again after almost three months of fear sentiment among investors. Bitcoin Market Becomes Greedy Again After Almost Three Months Of Fear The relevant indicator here is the “fear and greed index,” which tells us what the general sentiment among investors currently is. The metric uses a numeric scale that goes from zero to hundred for representing this sentiment. All values below fifty fall into the “fear category,” while those above belong to “greed.” When the index shows extreme values of above 75 and below 25, the market sentiment is that of extreme greed and extreme fear, respectively.

Similarly, they also think buying during extreme fear is better as bottoms tend to usually occur then.
