All values above 53 correspond to a sentiment of greed, while those below 47 that to fear. Values lying between these two cutoffs suggest a net neutral sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here is what the current market sentiment is like, according to the Fear &amp; Greed Index:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-445495 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/meter.png?w=758&amp;resize=758%2C332\" alt=\"Bitcoin Fear\" width=\"758\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/meter.png?w=758 758w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/meter.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/meter.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\"><\/p>\n<p>As displayed above, the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index has a value of 39 right now, which means the average trader in the space holds a sentiment of fear. The fearful mentality isn\u2019t too strong, however, as the indicator\u2019s only 8 units away from the neutral zone.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was different, though, as the metric held a value of 18. This level of FUD was so strong that it was inside a special region known as <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-investors-extremely-fearful-btc-4-drop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">extreme fear<\/a> (25 and under). This low for the indicator came as Bitcoin and others crashed amid uncertainty around the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-dips-in-wake-of-tariff-wars-but-dont-panic-yet-says-analyst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">tariffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With US President Donald Trump putting a 90-day pause on the tariffs for most countries, prices have seen some recovery, which has naturally allowed for an uplift in the market mood.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-445499 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chart_9f0e1a.png?resize=980%2C599\" alt=\"Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index\" width=\"980\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chart_9f0e1a.png?w=1146 1146w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chart_9f0e1a.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chart_9f0e1a.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chart_9f0e1a.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chart_9f0e1a.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chart_9f0e1a.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>While the Fear &amp; Greed Index has bounced back for now, it\u2019s unknown how long the recovery would remain. From the above chart, it\u2019s visible that the metric has been up and down a lot lately, implying the investors have been fickle.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, Bitcoin and the altcoin market have tended to move in the direction that the crowd least expects. As such, extreme fear, where FUD has been the strongest, has often paved the way for market bottoms. BTC was just inside the extreme fear territory so it\u2019s possible that it may have formed a bottom. If so, then the latest recovery could be one to last.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted, however, that in late February, the index hit a notably lower value of 10 and while it did coincide with a low, it was clearly not the main bottom. Thus, it only remains to be seen how things would play out this time.<\/p>\n<p>The Fear &amp; Greed Index bases its value off of many factors, one of which is the sentiment on social media.
