Bitcoin Remains in Extreme Fear as Crypto Fear & Greed Index Rises to 20

COINOTAG News, on November 25, cites Alternative Data showing the cryptocurrency fear and greed index rising to 20, up from 19. The market sentiment remains in extreme fear, with traders cautious amid subdued risk appetite. The cryptocurrency fear and greed index gauges psychology on a 0-100 scale.

The index blends six indicators: Volatility (25%), Market Trading Volume (25%), Social Media Hype (15%), Market Surveys (15%), Bitcoin’s Share of the Market (10%), and Google Trends Analysis (10%). This configuration explains the current reading of 20 and its extreme fear label.

For investors, the reading underscores caution rather than a clear bullish signal. Traders should monitor shifts in the contributing components, especially Bitcoin dominance and web-search momentum, before adjusting risk exposure. The data remain a gauge of sentiment, not a forecast of near-term price moves.
