Data shows the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index has returned back to the neutral 
territory, a sign that investors are losing optimism. Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed 
Index Has Reset Back To Neutral The &#8220;Fear &amp; Greed Index&#8221; refers to an 
indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the average sentiment 
present among the traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. 
Related Reading: Dogecoin Gears Up For 60% Move—Will It Be Up Or Down? The 
index makes use of the data of these five factors in order to determine the 
trader mentality: trading volume, market cap dominance, volatility, social 
media sentiment, and Google Trends. The indicator represents the calculated 
sentiment as a score lying between zero and hundred. Values above the 54 mark 
correspond to the dominance of greed in the market, while those below 46 to 
presence of fear among the investors. All values lying between these cutoffs 
correlate to a net neutral sentiment. Now, here is how the mood in the Bitcoin 
market is like right now according to the Fear &amp; Greed Index: As is visible 
above, the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index has a value of 54 at the moment, which 
suggests the investors hold a neutral sentiment, although one that&#8217;s right on 
the edge of turning into greed. The recent neutral mentality in the sector has 
come following a phase of greed among the traders, as the below chart shows. 
As displayed in the graph, the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index spiked to a high of 
72 earlier in the month as the asset&#8217;s price gave investors hope that its 
consolidation phase might be coming to an end. As the recovery rally has 
fizzled out and the coin has returned to its range, however, optimism among 
the investors has predictably faded. If history is to go by, though, this 
development may not actually be so bad for the cryptocurrency. Generally, 
digital asset markets tend to move in a way that goes contrary to the 
expectations of the majority. The probability of such an opposite move taking 
place goes up the more extreme the crowd opinion becomes. Besides the three 
core sentiments, there are two special regions known as the extreme fear 
(under 25) and extreme greed (above 75). These zones are where the likelihood 
of a contrary move has been the strongest in the past, with tops and bottoms 
often taking form. Although the market sentiment has recently only seen a 
reset to the neutral territory, the fact that the investors are no longer 
greedy could still be a positive for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. There 
have been many instances in the past where a dip into the neutral zone was 
enough for the bull run to regain momentum. Related Reading: Solana Plunges
