This comes hot on the heels of a market crash that saw top coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum drop to one-year lows. It has resulted in some of the lowest scale readings that the Fear & Greed Index has put out in recent times and it looks like this is only just beginning as negative sentiment has now touched yearly lows.<\/p>\n

This has been the case for a while but the recent readings provided by the Crypto Fear & Greed Index<\/a> show that it is worse than expected.<\/p>\n The index currently displays a score of 10 which is one of the lowest levels that it has been in the last six months.

What followed was a prolonged period of downtrends, similar to what is being experienced in the market for the last few weeks.<\/p>\n Related Reading |\u00a0Perp Traders Remain Quiet As Bitcoin Struggles To Hold $30,000<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n This negative sentiment continues to wax stronger even through recoveries.
