The Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 11 out of 100, placing digital-asset market sentiment in the 'Extreme Fear' category. The widely watched gauge reflects elevated investor anxiety, heightened caution and a broader retreat from risk, conditions that can coincide with heavier selling pressure, increased volatility and influence Bitcoin’s near-term price direction. Traders also monitor very low readings for signs of capitulation or, contrarily, a potential setup for a sentiment rebound.
