Fear and Greed Index Hits Four-Year Lows

[ed]

Market sentiment across crypto is hovering near levels not seen in years. Alternative.me’s widely followed Fear and Greed Index recently printed a reading of 10 out of 100 — firmly in “extreme fear” territory — marking its lowest level since mid-2022.

According to Matrixport, the last times sentiment fell this low were around June 2024 and November 2025, both following steep market corrections. If February closes in the red, Bitcoin could log five consecutive monthly losses — its longest losing streak since 2018 and one of the sharpest sustained sell-offs on record.

The data suggests that while fear is widespread, markets may be nearing a potential inflection point if historical patterns repeat.
