COINOTAG News, citing alternative data, reports the crypto fear and greed index at 23 on December 27, up from 20 yesterday, signaling persistent market fear in digital assets.

Since November 3, the fear and greed index has stayed sub-30, echoing a similar drawdown period seen in Q4 2022 for cryptocurrency market sentiment.
