a year ago

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, measuring market sentiment, has dropped 19 points in a day, reaching its lowest score since October 14.

Drop in index and influencing factors

This drop is one of the index's biggest daily declines over the last few years, causing a shift in market sentiment from 'Extreme Greed' to neutral after three months of optimism.

Role of Fed and stronger US dollar

Bitcoin's price fell below $92,000 due to expectations of the US Federal Reserve tightening monetary policy in 2025, impacting Bitcoin and the broader market. Rising treasury yields and a strengthening US dollar have also kept Bitcoin from surpassing $100,000 in recent weeks.

Insights on Bitcoin ETF positions

US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced their second-largest outflow of nearly $570 million on January 8, signaling a potential further retrace, explained by 10x Research’s founder Markus Thielen.

The recent Fear and Greed Index scores reflect changing sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, influenced by macroeconomic factors such as Fed policy and dollar dynamics.
