#fear&greed

📉 $BTC fell to “Maximum Fear” — an index of only 10. What does this mean and what happened before?

Today, the market shows one of the lowest values ​​​​of the fear and greed index for the year — 10 points, the maximum fear zone.

This is the level at which most participants panic, and liquidity thins out — and it is at such moments that the market often forms local or even global reversals.

📊 Historical data for the year: what happened to $BTC in such zones

1️⃣ Maximum Greed (87) — November 2024

• BTC was at its peak — around 120K+.

• Overvaluation euphoria, inflated expectations, the crowd went long en masse.

• Result: a protracted correction that lasted almost the entire year of 2025.

2️⃣ Neutral-greedy zones (40–70) — summer 2025

• The price fluctuated in the range of 100K–110K.

• The market was more or less balanced, but without pronounced impulses.

• The gradual cooling of the index led to accumulation before the fall.

3️⃣ Fear zones (20–30) — autumn 2025

• BTC fell from 100K - 90K - 85K.

• Seller pressure increased, shorts became more active.

• Low demand and growing negative sentiment formed a downtrend.

4️⃣ Maximum fear (10) — today, November 23, 2025

• Current price: $84,739.

• Volume on exchanges is high: $609M, which indicates panic activity.

• Similar to February-April 2025, when the index fell into the red zone, BTC then found a bottom and rebounded by 10-20%.

📈 Key observation for the whole year

🔻 High greed - price peaks - decline.

🔺 Maximum fear - local bottoms - rebound.

Every time the index was below 15, $BTC showed significant rebounds in the following days/weeks.

🔥 What this could mean now

• The market is emotionally oversold.

• Shorts are overbought (and as you mentioned in a previous post — there is potential for mass liquidations).

• Current index values ​​are rare, and often precede strong moves in the opposite direction.
