Bitcoin saw its price crash toward $60,000 last week, and naturally, investor 
sentiment took a plunge with it. Now, while the sentiment has been in a 
decline for the better part of five months, what stands out this time is how 
low the score on the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index has gotten. In fact, the 
sentiment surrounding the crypto market has dropped so low that it has gotten 
to a point that has only been hit twice in the history of Bitcoin. Bitcoin 
Fear &amp; Greed Index Crashes To 9 Since hitting its all-time high of $126,000 
back in August 2025, the sentiment has been ping-ponging, but now, it seems to 
have determined a direction. The trend has been mainly downward, and then last 
week, the index dropped to a low of 9. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP’s $15 
Target Has Still Not Changed – Here’s Why The Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index 
tracks the sentiment across the market using a number of factors, such as 
social sentiment and volume, among others. Thus, it gives a rather 
comprehensive view of how investors are feeling toward the market. The index 
ranges from 1-100, with 100-75 being Extreme Greed, 74-54 being Greed, 53-47 
being Neutral, 46-26 being Fear, and 25-1 being Extreme Fear. Presently, the 
market is sitting in Extreme Fear, which means that investors are wary of 
getting into the market. More importantly, though, the last two times that the 
market sentiment was this low were the 2018-2019 bear market and then the FTX 
crypto exchange crash back in 2022. What’s interesting about these two 
different posts in history is what followed after the sentiment dropped this 
low. The initial reaction to this seems to be very similar, with a long 
accumulation trend following each time. Usually, this trend lasts for a few 
months, suggesting that the market is using this time to build up momentum.

$200,000? However, like clockwork, there has been a steady upward move, 
meaning that sentiment this low could mark the end of the bear market. This 
then leads to the start of the bear market, and by the next year, the price is 
often hitting new all-time highs. Using this trend, it is likely that the 
Bitcoin price has hit or is close to hitting its bottom. In that case, a long 
period of accumulation could be the next course of action, and this could 
inevitably lead to the start of the next bull market. However, it is important 
to keep in mind that there have been points where Bitcoin has deviated from 
its set historical trend as new investors and macro factors begin to affect 
the financial markets. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
