【Crypto Rhythm】Latest data shows that the fear and greed index for cryptocurrencies today is at 49 (yesterday was 50), with the overall market sentiment in a neutral to slightly stable state.

This change is quite significant. Comparing the background data will help you understand — last week, the average index was still at 29, indicating a market full of panic; going back a month, the index even dropped to 16, which is an extremely fearful level. Now returning to the neutral zone suggests that the sentiment within the crypto community has indeed improved quite a bit.

Here’s a brief overview of how this index is constructed: it doesn’t appear out of nowhere but is based on multiple data dimensions. Volatility and trading volume each account for 25% of the weight, social media activity and market surveys each account for 15%, Bitcoin’s market share accounts for 10%, and Google search trend analysis also accounts for 10%. These six indicators are combined with weighted averages to produce a score between 0 and 100, where higher values indicate more greed and lower values indicate more fear.

From extreme fear to neutrality, the sentiment curve in the crypto market has been quite steep over the past few weeks.

Rising from 16 to 49, the rebound speed is quite fierce. Feels like another round of chopping the leeks. It's the usual volatility indicators. Can we trust these numbers? I just want to know why it hasn't broken through 50 yet. Neutral? It still looks a bit shaky to me. Let's wait until it really starts to rise. I believe in the market warming up, but how far this bull run can go is really hard to say. It depends on the subsequent trend. Is 49 considered stable? I feel like as soon as there's a negative news, it'll drop again.

From 16 to 49, the rebound speed is indeed a bit fierce. Wait, is it really bouncing back like this? A month of extreme panic is now neutral. How are those trapped feeling? The index can be deceptive; social media buzz only accounts for 15% of the weight. 49 isn't a safe position either; it could turn downward at any time.

From 16 to 49, this rebound is really quite strong. Wait, is this index so easy to fluctuate? Feels like the weight of social media buzz is a bit exaggerated. 49 is still neutral; I thought it would take over 60 to be considered a turnaround. Bitcoin only has a 10% weight? That logic seems a bit strange. If it warms up, it warms up; what if it drops again next week? Do you believe this stuff?

From 16 to 49, this rebound is too fast, feels a bit strange. Maybe I should wait for it to drop back down and see where the bottom is. What's so exciting about an index of 49? Let's wait until it hits 70 before talking. Mood improving? Why do I still feel a bit uneasy?

From 16 skyrocketing to 49, this rebound speed can't be sustained anymore. To be honest, the market recovery is really a reflection of people's confidence. Now we don't have to watch daily limit-downs every day. Wait, can we really trust this index? It feels like the data is just pieced together. Uh, I'm almost numb from the previous extreme panic. Now that it's neutral, I feel a bit out of place. 49 is still too close to 50; it could start acting up again at any moment.
