Crypto Fear & Greed Index measures the general mood of investors in the market. It is measured on a numerical scale from 0 (“extreme fear”) to 100 (“extreme greed.”) Various data such as volatility, bitcoin capitalization, market volume, as well as social media sentiment are analyzed to determine the index.
What else is known? Market sentiment has moved into the zone of “extreme greed” as the industry awaits the launch of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States.
Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya noted that the approval of such instruments by the securities regulator SEC will lead to the mass adoption of bitcoin and change the rules of the game.
