The Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index, which measures investor sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, rose to “neutral” for the first time since October.
According to data published by CoinMarketCap, the index entered neutral territory today at 42 points. This level indicates that the cautious outlook prevailing in recent weeks has given way to a more balanced market sentiment.
Bitcoin unexpectedly soared today, rising about 3% intraday to over $94,000.
Looking at historical data, the recovery in sentiment is clear. Yesterday, the index was again close to the neutral zone at 40 points, compared to 30 points in the “fear” zone last week and 25 points last month. This situation shows that investor sentiment is gradually improving.
From an annual perspective, the index shows an unstable trend. In 2025, the index peaked at 76 points indicating “greed” on May 23, 2025, but fell to 10 points on November 22, 2025, entering the “extreme fear” zone.
Low values indicate that investors are overly fearful and the market is relatively undervalued. On the other hand, high values indicate excessive optimism and possible overestimation.
