Forecast Trend Report by Period
Investor sentiment in the cryptoasset (cryptocurrency) market is rapidly deteriorating, deepening the fear phase. Analysts say risk-off sentiment is strengthening alongside heightened short-term price volatility.
According to crypto-focused media outlet BlockBeats on the 22nd, the Fear & Greed Index compiled by data provider Alternative stood at 10 on the day. It fell further from the previous day (12), indicating a deeper move into the ‘Extreme Fear’ zone.
The Fear & Greed Index is an indicator that reflects market sentiment on a scale from 0 to 100. In general, the lower the reading, the stronger investors’ fear.
The index is calculated by combining various factors including volatility (25%), trading volume (25%), social media trends (15%), market surveys (15%), Bitcoin market dominance (10%), and search trends (10%).
Market participants interpret the index’s entry into the extreme fear zone as a sign that investors’ risk-averse bias has strengthened markedly.
