Panic index falls to freezing point: is the crypto market's "century bottom" or a "falling knife"?
In November 2025, the Fear and Greed Index fell to 9, hitting a 5-year low, with Bitcoin dropping below 100,000 and reaching 90,900.
Panic stems from the Fed's hawkish stance + record ETF outflows of 2.3 billion + whales selling 810,000 coins, with institutions and the HODL narrative collapsing simultaneously. In reality, it's a major asset transfer: retail investors and mid-sized whales are cutting losses, while super whales and diamond hands are buying aggressively.
History shows that single-digit indexes are excellent long-term buying points. Conclusion: When others are in extreme fear, using DCA to calmly buy the dip is the true "be greedy when others are fearful."
