TL;DR
- Bitcoin’s approach to $35,000 pushed the “BTC Fear and Greed Index” into “Greed” territory, reaching its highest since April 2023.
- The index mainly indicated “Fear” in the latter half of 2022, but recent market positivity suggests a crypto market rebound.
- High greed might signal a market correction, yet analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s growth with favorable factors in play.
The ongoing cryptocurrency market revival, specifically Bitcoin’s bull run towards $35,000, seems to have changed the investors’ stance on the asset.
Recently, the popular “BTC Fear and Greed Index:” a metric that indicates the overall sentiment on the primary cryptocurrency, has entered “Greed” territory for the first time since mid-July.
The trend changed on October 21 when the leading digital asset started its ascend towards the coveted level of $30,000, while today (October 24), investors appear to be even greedier, with the index pointing to 66. It is worth mentioning that this is the highest figure since April 16, 2023.
The “BTC Fear and Greed Index” was predominantly in the “Fear” or “Neutral” zone throughout the second part of 2022. However, the market’s positive performance since the beginning of the year and its impressive spike in the past weeks hinted that the prolonged crypto winter might be over.
While “Extreme Fear” may sound somewhat scary, the team behind the metric believes it could present a buying opportunity. On the other hand, too greedy investors could be a sign that the market is due for a correction.
Numerous analysts and experts have recently laid out their forecasts, suggesting that BTC is on a path of a further price increase should certain factors like regulatory developments, the upcoming halving, and interest from institutional investors be in place.
