Crypto sentiment has fallen to its most fearful level in over eight months as persistent macroeconomic uncertainty continues to unsettle market participants. This sharp decline reflects a widespread sense of apprehension and caution among investors.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a key gauge of overall market sentiment, posted an “Extreme Fear” score of 10 in its Saturday update, marking its lowest reading since Feb. 27. This coincided with Bitcoin (BTC) briefly dropping below $95,000 on Friday, struggling to reclaim the $96,000 level, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Andre Dragosh, European head of research at Bitwise, argues that the current situation isn't as dire as it might appear when compared to past market downturns. He pointed out that Bitwise’s cryptoasset sentiment index continues to show a positive divergence, suggesting a potential reversal in the trend.
Meanwhile, NorthmanTrader founder Sven Henrich highlighted that Bitcoin's price chart is exhibiting “something potentially positive” for Bitcoin bulls, noting a “falling wedge, positive divergence”.
A Messari research manager, known as “DRXL,” expressed surprise at the “such dissonance between the headlines and the sentiment.” He noted that numerous positive developments are occurring, yet the overall market sentiment remains pessimistic.
Some analysts view the absence of a year-end surge as a positive sign. Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan recently stated that “The biggest risk was [if] we ripped into the end of 2025 and then we got a pullback.”
