Crypto Sentiment Moves Out Of 'Extreme Fear' But Uncertainty Stays
The crypto market sentiment indicator moved out of 'extreme fear' to a 'fear' score of 29, signaling potential gains after eight weeks of low sentiment.Summary
A widely used crypto market sentiment indicator moved out of the "extreme fear" rating on Friday, reaching a "fear" score of 29, its highest level in 21 days, despite Bitcoin trading under $90,000. Analysts suggest that a prolonged period in fear or extreme fear territory, which lasted eight weeks, could prime the market for potential gains. Crypto entrepreneur Brian Rose noted that the current risk/reward ratio is the best it has ever been. Meanwhile, crypto analytics platform Santiment observed that market participants entering 2026 have "mixed emotions," balancing personal losses with celebrations of gains and community resilience. Other indicators, like the CoinMarketCap Altcoin Season Index showing a "Bitcoin Season" score of 23, confirm a general risk-off mode among traders.
