- Despite the price surge, the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index remains in the extreme fear zone with a value of 23.
- Ethereum outperformed Bitcoin with a weekly gain of 13%, contributing to the overall market rally.
The recent bullish momentum in Bitcoin and other altcoins has led to some improvement in trader sentiment, although it remains within the extreme fear territory according to the Fear & Greed Index. This index uses factors like market cap dominance and trading volume to gauge investor sentiment.
While Bitcoin’s price recovery is notable, the persistent low sentiment highlights ongoing caution among investors despite positive market movements. (Source)
