Crypto Fear and Greed Index Climbs to 81: What Extreme Greed Signals for the Market

BitcoinWorld Crypto Fear and Greed Index Climbs to 81: What Extreme Greed Signals for the Market The cryptocurrency market is showing unmistakable signs of bullish sentiment, with CoinMarketCap’s proprietary fear and greed index rising to 81, up one point from the previous day.

This reading keeps the market firmly in “extreme greed” territory, a zone that historically has preceded both continued rallies and sharp corrections. The index, which ranges from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme optimism), is a widely watched barometer of investor psychology.

How the Index Is Calculated CoinMarketCap’s gauge is not a single metric but a composite of several market signals. It factors in price movements of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, which provides a broad view of overall market health.

It also incorporates market volatility, measured through recent price fluctuations, and derivatives-market indicators, including the put/call ratio—a higher ratio suggests more bearish bets.
