The Crypto Fear and Greed Index remained at 29 out of 100 in its latest reading, keeping cryptocurrency sentiment in the fear zone despite rising from 28 the previous day. The index was at 37 a week earlier and 64 a month ago. It combines price movements among the 10 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization with volatility, derivatives-market indicators and investor behavior, alongside measures such as trading momentum, social-media activity, Bitcoin dominance and search trends. Its inputs include the put/call ratio, which reflects hedging behavior, and the Stablecoin Supply Ratio, which compares stablecoin liquidity with overall market size. Bitcoin briefly fell to approximately $73,708 over the weekend, its lowest level since August, while Ethereum dropped sharply after trading near $2,240 and moved toward the $2,100-$2,120 support region. The broader market remained under pressure amid regulatory uncertainty, security concerns, renewed selling, fallout from the US midterm elections and concerns over Binance's multibillion-dollar security breach. A reading in the fear zone reflects cautious expectations but does not by itself predict further price declines; traders are watching whether Bitcoin can stabilize above its weekend lows and whether Ethereum can recover lost ground.
