As bitcoin BTC<\/span><\/svg><\/span>$88,379.41<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> struggles to hold above $90,000, market sentiment has once again slipped into extreme fear. <\/p>\n

Over the past year, fear or extreme fear has accounted for more than 30% of all readings on the Crypto Fear and Greed Index<\/a>. The index currently stands at 17, firmly within the extreme fear section. <\/p>\n

Fear has dominated sentiment since the October liquidation crash more than two months ago, as bitcoin dropped 36% from its October all-time high. While the cryptocurrency market has yet to stage a meaningful recovery. With bitcoin currently trading nearly 30% below its all-time high, investor caution remains elevated.<\/p>\n

A similar disconnect is occurring in U.S. equities. Sentiment currently sits at 42, which signals fear, according to the CNN Fear and Greed Index<\/a>, even as the S&P 500 trades around 6,827, just a few percentage points below its all-time high.<\/p>\n

Across both U.S. equities and cryptocurrencies, fear continues to dominate investor psychology.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin entered a death cross in November<\/a>, a technical pattern where the 50-day moving average falls below the 200 day moving average. In this instance, the death cross coincided with a local bottom near $80,000 on Nov. 21. Notably, every death cross during the current market cycle since 2023 has marked a significant local bottom, reinforcing its relevance as a contrarian indicator in this cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
