ChainCatcher News: The Crypto Fear and Greed Index shows that market sentiment has been in extreme fear for 14 consecutive days. On December 26, the index dropped to 20, marking one of the longest fear periods since its launch in February 2018.
Notably, despite Bitcoin’s current trading price of approximately $88,650, which is five times higher than the $16,000 during the 2022 FTX collapse, market panic levels are even greater. Bitcoin has fallen nearly 30% from its all-time high of $126,080 on October 6.
Alphractal data indicates that cryptocurrency Google search volume, Wikipedia views, and forum discussions have all significantly declined, with social activity returning to bear market levels. However, retail investors in traditional finance are still entering the market, and the US Bitcoin ETF has attracted over $25 billion in inflows in 2025.
