Crypto Fear & Greed Hits 78 "Greed" — Market Sentiment Rebounds Hard

The market mood has flipped.

According to the CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index, sentiment is now at 78 — Greed. That’s the same level as last week, and a massive jump from just a month ago.

Key Data:
Current: 78 Greed
Yesterday: 78 Greed
Last Week: 78 Greed
Last Month: 38 Fear
Yearly High: 82 Extreme Greed on Aug 27, 2026
Yearly Low: 5 Extreme Fear on Feb 06, 2026

What the chart shows:
The index tracks Bitcoin price and volume alongside social, volatility, and trend data. After months of Fear and Extreme Fear in Jan-Feb 2026, we’ve seen a V-shaped recovery.

Sentiment bottomed at 5 during the $58K BTC capitulation, and now it’s nearly at "Extreme Greed" again as Bitcoin trades near $120K on the chart.

Why this matters:
Historically, readings above 75 mean retail FOMO is kicking in. Readings below 20 meant maximum opportunity.

We went from 5 to 78 in 6 months. That tells you everything about this cycle — brutal bearish sentiment washed out, and now greed is back as BTC holds strong.

The index hit 82 just days ago, showing the market got euphoric near the highs. A cool-off to 78 could actually be healthy before the next leg.
