Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index Falls to 28 as Crypto Market Shifts into “Fear” — Down from 44

COINOTAG News — Sept 26: According to Alternative data, the cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index fell to 28 from 44, indicating a prevailing state of Fear across markets. The index combines volatility (25%), market trading volume (25%), social media hype (15%), market surveys (15%), Bitcoin’s dominance (10%) and Google Trends (10%) to measure investor sentiment.

Analysts note that a lower Fear and Greed Index reflects heightened risk aversion and subdued trading dynamics rather than a conclusive market direction. Incorporating this crypto market sentiment metric into risk management and portfolio allocation can provide complementary insight when used alongside on‑chain metrics and macroeconomic indicators.
