Crypto Fear & Greed Index Hits Lowest Since Luna Crash
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index drops to 9, entering deep “Extreme Fear” levels not seen since the Luna crash.
- The index plummeted to 9, signaling extreme market fear
- It’s the lowest point since the Terra (Luna) collapse
- Investors are pulling back amid market volatility
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has plunged to 9, marking a significant moment of fear in the market. This level, labeled as “Extreme Fear,” hasn’t been seen since the collapse of the Terra (Luna) ecosystem in 2022. The index, which ranges from 0 (maximum fear) to 100 (maximum greed), is widely used to gauge investor sentiment.
When the score drops below 20, it often signals that fear is dominating the market, with many traders either selling off or waiting on the sidelines. Hitting a level this low may indicate widespread uncertainty, even panic, as crypto investors react to continued market declines, regulatory concerns, and macroeconomic instability.
Historical Comparison: Luna Crash Revisited
The last time the index was this low was during the infamous Luna crash. At that time, billions of dollars were wiped out almost overnight, sending shockwaves through the entire crypto market. Comparing today’s score to that event highlights just how uneasy investors are right now.
The index doesn’t just reflect price action; it also factors in volatility, volume, social media activity, and surveys. The convergence of these indicators paints a stark picture: confidence is at a historic low.
What This Means for Investors
While extreme fear often suggests caution, some see it as a potential buying opportunity. “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful,” the old Warren Buffett adage goes. Still, timing the market is tricky, and many investors remain cautious, unsure whether this fear marks a bottom or signals more downside ahead.
With Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins experiencing sharp pullbacks, traders are watching closely for signs of recovery—or further turmoil.
