Crypto Fear and Greed Index

The Fear & Greed Index for bitcoin and other large cryptocurrencies remains in the “extreme greed” zone and is up 2 points to 88 since last week, but has fallen 2 points over the past 24-hours. Over the past 7 days, the index has fluctuated between 86 and 94 as it attempts to regain the June 2019 all-time-high of 95. Unlike prior periods where retail investors drove the run-up in bitcoin, I expect activity to weaken with the index stable over the shortened US holiday week as institutional traders lean to “hodl.”
