All values above the 53 mark correspond to the investors holding a sentiment of greed, while those under 47 suggest fear in the market. The territory in between the cutoffs implies a net-neutral mentality.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here is what the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index says regarding the current market sentiment:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-352058 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/meter.png?w=365&amp;resize=365%2C332\" alt=\"Bitcoin Greed\" width=\"365\" height=\"332\"><\/p>\n<p>As is visible above, the indicator has a value of 74, which means the investors share a sentiment of greed right now. This current value is also quite deep into the region, so deep that it sits right on the boundary of a special zone called <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-sentiment-watch-embrace-extreme-greed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">extreme greed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The market experiences extreme greed whenever the index breaks above the 75 mark. There is also a similar territory for the fear side, known as the extreme fear, occurring under 25.<\/p>\n<p>The extreme sentiments have historically been quite significant for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as major tops and bottoms have tended to occur in these regions.<\/p>\n<p>The relationship between sentiment and price has been inverse, meaning extreme greed has been where tops have taken place, while extreme fear is the region of bottoms.<\/p>\n<p>During the latest leg of the bull run, the index generally spent time inside the extreme greed zone. The metric was in the region just yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-352111 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chart.png?resize=980%2C466\" alt=\"Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index\" width=\"980\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chart.png?w=1124 1124w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chart.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chart.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chart.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chart.png?w=130 130w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chart.png?w=104 104w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chart.png?w=83 83w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chart.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>The change in the sentiment has come as BTC has witnessed a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-signals-further-upside-potential-as-it-stabilizes-near-100000-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">pullback<\/a> and the altcoin market has gone through a crash. Given the historical pattern that Bitcoin has usually observed, this latest cooldown in investor sentiment could turn out to be a positive and potentially allow the rally to see a continuation.<\/p>\n<p>In some other news, the Estimated Leverage Ratio for the BTC-USDT pair has observed a decline recently, as CryptoQuant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju pointed out in an X <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ki_young_ju\/status\/1866787839901569380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GegpaoRaEAEOLfV?format=jpg&amp;name=large\" alt=\"Bitcoin Leverage Ratio\" width=\"1362\" height=\"944\"><\/p>\n<p>The Estimated Leverage Ratio measures the average amount of leverage that the futures market users are opting for.
