Crypto market sentiment has collapsed into “Extreme Fear” territory as prices continue to slide under mounting macroeconomic and geopolitical pressure.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures market mood on a 0–100 scale, currently sits at 9 — a slight rebound from 8 yesterday and 5 last week, but still firmly in extreme fear territory.

Investor anxiety is also visible in online behavior. According to Google Trends, searches for “Bitcoin going to zero” have reached an all-time high, hitting a peak interest score of 100. The spike reflects heightened retail concern and echoes patterns seen during previous market capitulation phases.

On-chain analytics firm Santiment notes that surges in negative language — including phrases like “down,” “selling,” and “going to $0” — often coincide with retail capitulation. Historically, such sentiment extremes have sometimes marked local bottoms, as weaker hands exit the market.
