The Crypto Fear & Greed Index (primarily Bitcoin-focused, from sources like alternative.me and CoinMarketCap) has rarely plunged to 5 or below.
Confirmed historical instances of extreme lows near or at 5.
• February 5, 2026: Hit 5 (all-time low on extreme fear amid recent panic sell-off).
• June 2022 (Terra/Luna collapse): Reached 6 matched major bear market capitulation.
• March 2020 (COVID crash): Dropped to 10 (not quite 5, but single digits; BTC bottomed $3,800, then surged 15x+).
• Late 2018 (bear market bottom): 9 (close to single digits).
Drops to 5 are exceptionally rare signaling maximum capitulation and often preceding powerful rebounds.
Current reading hovers 5 (extreme fear zone), echoing past bottoms where history shows violent recoveries followed.
These ultra-low readings are contrarian buy signals capitulation clears weak hands for the next leg up. Stay vigilant; bottoms like this forge legends.
#BithumbKorea $44B bitcoin blunder puts South Korea regulators on alert over local crypto exchanges. (within 35 minutes), recovering 99.7% of the ~620,000 BTC overall. A small portion (1,788 BTC) was sold by some users from which Bithumb recovered about 93% of the sold BTC (leaving 125 BTC unrecovered).
South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is intensifying oversight of cryptocurrency markets following a major error at Bithumb, one of the country’s largest exchanges. Last week, Bithumb mistakenly credited 695 users with approximately 620,000 bitcoin (valued at around $44 billion at the time) instead of small promotional rewards in Korean won, due to an input mistake. The exchange quickly restricted trading and withdrawals, recovering 99.7% of the assets, though the incident caused a 30% local BTC price drop as some users attempted to sell.
The FSS announced plans to investigate high-risk practices disrupting market order, including price manipulation by large “whales,” coordinated pump-and-dump schemes via social media misinformation, and tactics involving suspended deposits/withdrawals. It will develop real-time tools to detect suspicious patterns every second/minute and AI-based text analysis for abuse flags. Regulators highlighted vulnerabilities in virtual assets, warning of potential on-site inspections and punitive fines for IT incidents sector-wide, with increased accountability for executives and CISOs.
This aligns with preparations for the Basic Digital Asset Act to expand the regulatory framework, amid President Lee Jae-myung’s push against unfair financial practices, including fraud and voice phishing.
