Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Hits 16-Month High of 69

The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index measures how people feel about the crypto market as a whole. The score is changed every day and is always different. The index changes as market conditions, the volatility of crypto assets, market data, the number of trades, and other things change.

The index helps traders and buyers know what to do in the market. Most of the time, when people are terrified, it could be an excellent time to buy. In the same way, buyers should be ready for a market correction when there is too much greed.

According to data from Alternative, the Bitcoin fear & greed measure hit a high of 69, the highest it has been in 16 months. On March 21, 2023, it hit a high of 68.
