Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index at 25... shifted to 'extreme fear'

Bitcoin’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 25 on the 7th from 28 a day earlier, shifting the market-sentiment gauge from “fear” into “extreme fear” on Alternative.me’s 0-100 scale. The three-point drop reflects deteriorating sentiment rather than a 3% price move, and the index is calculated specifically for the Bitcoin market, so it does not capture sentiment for Ethereum or other crypto assets. The reading matters because it signals investors are increasingly risk-averse toward BTC, a backdrop that can amplify volatility and affect flows across crypto markets. Watch whether the index holds below 25 or rebounds above 28 in the coming sessions, along with Bitcoin volatility and momentum inputs that feed the gauge.
