$BTC Sentiment reference: Fear & Greed Index 26 (Fear), down 11 from yesterday.
Let's use this number to talk about the Fear & Greed Index.
“Fear” and “Greed” are just names for the different levels. Values within the same category can vary quite a bit, so looking at the specific value gives you more detail than just looking at the category name.
It mainly reflects the state of Bitcoin. Altcoins often follow a different rhythm, so don't apply it to them directly.
The same data can mean very different things in different market conditions, so don't blindly apply a single rule.
