Crypto Market Goes Into “Extreme Greed,” What This Means For Bitcoin

2021-8-22 20:00

Bitcoin is still headed for the moon even as the weekend goes on. The price of the asset has not seen much in the way of a downturn following its massive price increase from last month. Overall sentiments in the crypto market are still very positive, as evidenced in the Fear & Greed Index. The index which had spent the better part of the last two months following the market all-time high has now turned into the most coveted territory.

The crypto Fear & Greed shows that the market has now gone into “extreme greed.” Continuing its upward trajectory from the last couple of weeks. The index had gradually made its way out of “extreme fear,” when the market seemed to be in its most vulnerable. Prices were crashing from both bitcoin to altcoins. This saw sentiments decline into negative.

The first week of August brought a gush of fresh air when the market moved out of extreme fear into the fear territory. Although this was not ideal, it showed that cryptocurrencies were once again making progress. A week of continuous uptrend brought the price of the digital asset into neutral. Then what followed was a quick run-up into the “greed” territory. Bitcoin had broken $40K and there was no telling how long the run-up would go on. Investors did not want to miss out on this and so money poured back into the market.

Last week saw the price of bitcoin breaking $48K for the first time in over two months after it hit its $64K all-time high. This continued growth pushed the market sentiment right into ultra-positive, with the Fear & Greed Index running into “extreme greed,” scoring 78 on the scale yesterday and 76 today. Indicating that investors were back putting money into cryptocurrencies.
