When did crypto go from greedy to nervous in just 10 days?
The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index fell to 53 "Neutral" from its 2026 high of 73 "greed". The trigger: September CPI printed 3.7% vs 3.6% expected, $BTC tagged $80,580, and nearly $944M in longs got liquidated in 24 hours.
Why it matters: the fear wasn't crypto-only. Korea's Kospi plunged 8% and hit circuit breakers while gold ripped. When every risk asset bleeds together, crypto turns into a liquidation machine.
Does BTC hold $80K into the Oct 28 FOMC, or is this just the first leg down?
Not financial advice. DYOR.
