Data shows the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index has marked an improvement after the 
latest price surge, but its value is still inside the extreme fear zone. 
Bitcoin Has Witnessed A Price Jump Over The Past Day Bitcoin ended last week 
on a mixed note, first observing a sharp surge near $74,000 on Friday, but 
then dropping back into the low $70,000 levels inside the same day. The 
weekend saw the asset consolidate, but it seems the new week has brought with 
it fresh bullish momentum as BTC has jumped once more. Related Reading:

As the below chart shows, Bitcoin went further than the Friday jump this time, 
briefly hitting $74,400. The cryptocurrency has pulled back a bit since the 
high, but with a current value of $73,200, it remains more than 7% in the 
green on the weekly timeframe. BTC hasn&#8217;t been alone in the bullish push as 
the altcoins have also observed rallies. Ethereum, the second largest digital 
asset, has seen even better returns than Bitcoin, being up 13% on the week. 
Recent trader sentiment has been poor because of the extended bearish price 
action, but the new recovery has led to some improvement. BTC Fear &amp; Greed 
Index Now At Edge Of Extreme Fear Territory The &#8220;Fear &amp; Greed Index&#8221; refers to 
an indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the average sentiment 
present among investors in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. The 
index determines the trader mentality using the data of five factors: market 
cap dominance, trading volume, volatility, social media sentiment, and Google 
Trends. To represent the sentiment, it uses a numerical scale running from 0 
to 100. All values above 53 on this scale correspond to a sentiment of greed, 
while those under 47 to one of fear. The values in between imply a net neutral 
market mentality. Besides these three core zones, there are also two extreme 
territories on the index called the extreme fear (25 and under) and extreme 
greed (above 75). All the recent bearish price action pushed the market down 
into one of these extreme zones, as the chart below shows: From the graph, 
it&#8217;s visible that since dropping down deep into the extreme fear zone in 
February, the Fear &amp; Greed Index has steadily been improving this month. The 
latest Bitcoin recovery surge, in particular, has induced a notable jump in 
the indicator. Related Reading: Bitcoin Recovery Requires STH Profitability

enough to escape the extreme fear zone. Nonetheless, at a current value of 23, 
the index is now very close to transitioning into the normal fear region.
