The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has surged to 75, placing it firmly in the ‘Greed’ territory and indicating exceptionally bullish market sentiment. This level highlights widespread investor optimism and aggressive buying activity across cryptocurrency markets, typically associated with price rallies but also elevated risk exposure.
The index calculation incorporates six weighted metrics: market volatility (25%), momentum and trading volume (25%), social media sentiment (15%), Bitcoin dominance (10%), and Google Trends data (10%). Survey-based inputs remain paused at this time. The methodology aims to quantify emotional extremes that often precede market corrections.
A reading of 75 suggests robust upward momentum yet flags significant overextension risks. Market participants are encouraged to exercise caution through strategies such as profit-taking on appreciated assets, reassessing risk tolerance thresholds, avoiding emotional trading decisions, implementing dollar-cost averaging, and maintaining diversified portfolios.
While the index provides valuable sentiment insights, analysts stress that it should never replace comprehensive market analysis. Investors are advised to combine this indicator with technical and fundamental research when making allocation decisions during high-greed periods.
