【FNG hit 69—don’t you have a clue?】
Today I checked the Fear & Greed Index: 69, which is in the Greed zone. Honestly, my first reaction to this number wasn’t excitement—it was caution.
Why?
Because I’ve seen this way too many times in practice. Every time the FNG climbs above 65 and the market becomes euphoric, that’s often when things are most dangerous. I’m not saying the trend will reverse immediately, but at times like this, the most important thing isn’t to rush in—it’s to review your positions and make sure your stop-loss levels are in place.
The situation with XRP is especially interesting. The valuation is indeed low—down 62% from its peak. In any mature market, that would fall under the category of severe oversold conditions. On top of that, Ripple has just announced it’s preparing for quantum computing, which provides some narrative on the news side.
But here’s the question: does low valuation mean you can buy right now? Does a good-sounding technical story automatically mean the business logic checks out?
Let me pour you some cold water. I do recognize Ripple’s cross-border payments vision, and the quantum-safety track isn’t wrong—but those are three to five-year timelines, not next month’s.
With the FNG at 69 right now, what it reflects is more short-term emotional exuberance, not a fundamental shift.
Trading volume is also on the low side, which suggests a wait-and-see mood—everyone is, deep down, still unsure.
So my stance is very clear: be bullish, but don’t let your emotions drive the decision. At this point, your stop-loss line must be crystal clear. Have you already set up risk hedging? Is your position sizing under control?
If you can’t answer these three questions, even if the FNG rises to 75, you still won’t make money.
