Data shows the Bitcoin investor sentiment has entered extreme greed territory following the asset’s surge to a new all-time high (ATH).<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Is Now Pointing At ‘Extreme Greed’<\/h2>\n

The “Fear & Greed Index” is an indicator created by Alternative<\/a> that tells us about the average sentiment among the traders in the Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency sectors.<\/p>\n

This index represents the sentiment as a score between zero and hundred. To calculate the score, the metric uses data from the following five factors: volatility, trading volume, market cap dominance, social media sentiment, and Google Trends.<\/p>\n

When the indicator’s value is greater than 53, it means the investors share a sentiment of greed right now. On the other hand, the metric being below 47 suggests the market is currently observing fear. Naturally, the index between these two regions implies a net neutral mentality.<\/p>\n

Besides these three core sentiments, there are two special zones: extreme greed and fear. The former occurs at values above 75, while the latter is under 25.<\/p>\n

Now, here is what the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index is like right now:<\/p>\n

\"Bitcoin<\/p>\n

As is visible above, the indicator is at a value of 77, which suggests the traders in the sector are currently holding a sentiment of extreme greed. This is a change from yesterday when the market was still inside the normal greed region.<\/p>\n

Here is a chart that shows how the index’s value has changed over the past year:<\/p>\n

\"Bitcoin<\/p>\n

Historically, the extreme sentiments have proven significant for Bitcoin, as major price tops and bottoms in the asset have tended to occur inside these zones.<\/p>\n

Thus, the relationship between sentiment and price has been an inverse one, however, meaning that extreme greed has led to tops, while extreme fear has paved the way for bottoms.<\/p>\n

From the above graph, it’s apparent that the Fear & Greed Index had surged high into the extreme greed territory when Bitcoin had topped out in the first quarter of this year.<\/p>\n

It’s possible that, with the market once again becoming too hyped about the cryptocurrency after the latest all-time high (ATH) break, another top could form for BTC.<\/p>\n

Generally, however, major tops only occur when the index hits particularly high levels. The top above, for instance, took place alongside a value of 88. Thus, it’s possible that sentiment could still have room to heat up, before the rally hits a major obstacle.<\/p>\n

BTC Price<\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $75,900, up 8% over the last seven days.<\/p>\n
