The Fear & Greed Index jumped to 62 GREED.



Retail spent weeks expecting BTC to go lower.

One big pump later, everyone is suddenly bullish again.

Be careful.

BTC still needs a weekly close above key resistance to confirm a real trend shift.

I got greedy, but I’m actually a little nervous.

The index showing greed does not mean the trend has reversed. Until the weekly candle closes above key resistance, this pump looks more like a cleanup of short leverage, so those chasing the rally should beware of becoming the next batch of fuel.

A few days ago they were still calling for it to fall to 20,000; now one bullish candle and they've all changed their tune. Retail investors really do have memories of only three seconds.

In one sentence: Beware of false breakouts. This kind of market wipes out those who swing both ways.

These sharp pumps are the most deceptive: as soon as you can’t resist entering, it turns back.

Pumping to liquidate shorts—once they’re wiped out, longs could be next. Don’t get too carried away.

Without weekly confirmation, it’s all just nonsense.

Retail investors are never defeated by the market; they are defeated by their own emotions. Chasing when prices rise and cutting when they fall—how is that any different from doing the opposite? With greed at 62, we should instead be a little more cautious and a little less impulsive.
