Crypto Fear and Greed Index
The Fear & Greed Index for bitcoin and other large cryptocurrencies increased 2 points to 93 as market sentiment remains bullish. The index, signifying ‘Extreme Greed’, has not posted below 90 since Christmas Eve and has remained on a positive upward trend since breaking back above 50 in early October.
Correction
Yesterday, I said I was waiting for Gemini to announce if they intended to continue trading XRP. I was incorrectly under the perception that Gemini already offered support for Ripple. This was incorrect as Gemini has never added XRP to their platform. Sorry for this confusion.
