Data shows the Bitcoin investor sentiment has recently improved, but buyers are still reluctant as fear continues in the market.

Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index Points To A Fearful Sentiment

As per the latest weekly report from Arcane Research, the BTC market sentiment hit a high of 34 last week, but now it has once again fallen to just above extreme fear territory.

The “fear and greed” index is an indicator that measures the general sentiment among investors in the Bitcoin market.

The metric uses a numeric scale that runs from zero to hundred for representing this sentiment. All values above fifty imply greed, while those below the threshold suggest fear.

Values towards the end of the range of above 75 and below 25 signify sentiments of “extreme greed” and “extreme fear,” respectively.

Historically, tops have tended to form during extreme greed, while bottoms have taken place during the periods with the latter sentiment.

Because of this fact, some traders believe it’s best to sell while the market is extremely greedy and buy when investors are extremely fearful.

“Contrarian investing” is a trading technique that echoes this idea. The famous Warren Buffet quote sums it up: “be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin fear and greed index over the past year:

As you can see in the above graph, the Bitcoin fear and greed has observed some growth recently and is currently at a value of 26, suggesting a fearful sentiment is gripping the market currently.

Preceding this latest improvement in the mentality was a long stretch of extreme fear, the longest in the history of the crypto, in fact. It lasted for 74 days.

Last week, the indicator’s value had risen up to even 34 as the coin’s price saw a recovery rally. However, as the run ended and the crypto once again slumped down, so did the sentiment among the investors.

The report notes that this trend indicates participants in the BTC (and wider crypto) market believe that this recent rally was just a fakeout.

Overall, the sentiment is certainly an improvement over the extreme fear hell of June, but the buyers still remain reluctant.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $21.3k, down 10% in the last week. Over the past month, the crypto has gained 2% in value.

The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
