The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, a key indicator measuring investor sentiment in cryptocurrency markets, remained at 35 points, suggesting a continued cautious outlook in the markets. Calculated by CoinMarketCap, the index showed no change compared to the previous day, revealing that investor risk appetite remains low.
The index indicates “excessive fear” in the market as it approaches zero, and “excessive greed” as it approaches 100. The current level of 35 points is in the “fear” zone, indicating that investors continue to act cautiously due to uncertainty and that market confidence has not yet fully recovered.
CoinMarketCap considers a variety of data points related to the cryptocurrency market when creating its index. The calculation takes into account indicators such as price movements of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, market volatility, put/call ratios in derivative markets, stablecoin supply ratio (SSR), and user search 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 uncertainties, expectations regarding central bank monetary policies, and volatile price movements in crypto assets have been cited as the main factors limiting investors’ willingness to take risks. The fact that the index has remained at the same level for several days also indicates that the market is struggling to determine a new direction.
Analysts note that the Fear and 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 fell to very low levels sometimes presented buying opportunities, while excessively high levels increased the risk of profit taking.
