Crypto Fear and Greed Index Drops to 10, Bitcoin Sees Significant Decline
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index experienced a significant drop to 10 points on Sunday, reaching its lowest level since February 2025, which clearly indicates that "a strong sense of fear prevails among investors."
This notable decline in the index coincides with a wave of aggressive selling that has impacted the market in recent days, amid growing uncertainty regarding monetary policies in the United States, particularly following pessimistic remarks from several Federal Reserve officials about the upcoming December meeting.
Data from the "CME FedWatch" tool shows a significant shift in investor expectations, as "traders are currently assessing a less than 50% probability that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points at the December meeting, down from 62.9% earlier this week, and 95.5% just a month ago, highlighting the extent of the change in market expectations."
In this context, negative sentiment has directly impacted price performance, with "Bitcoin currently trading below $94,000, completely erasing gains made in 2025, after the leading cryptocurrency had seen an increase of 157% in 2023 and 120% in 2024."
These developments reflect a state of deep uncertainty surrounding future trends in the cryptocurrency market, as investors await the Federal Reserve's decisions and their potential impact on risk appetite for highly volatile assets.
