I just noticed that the fear and greed index in crypto has dropped to 12 — that's already extreme fear. Yesterday it was 16, so the downward trend continues. But the most interesting thing isn't the drop itself, but that the market has been in this negative zone for a month already. This isn't just a one-day panic spike.

When the fear and greed index in cryptocurrencies stays in the red zone for so long, it indicates something more serious — people have simply lost confidence. Volumes are falling, purchases are thinning out, everyone is sitting on the sidelines waiting for clearer signals. Volatility remains high, but it's no longer speculative volatility, it's nervous.

Interestingly, extreme fear in the crypto sector doesn't always mean an endless decline. Sometimes it's a sign of market oversold conditions. But it doesn't guarantee a reversal — it just shows that emotions have reached a critical point. For day traders, this might mean chaos will persist for a while longer. For long-term investors, it's just another period of pessimism that will eventually pass. For now, fear is clearly the dominant sentiment in the market.
