Crypto Fear & Greed Index Plunges to “Extreme Fear”

[chainsniff]

On Oct. 17, 2025, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped to 22 points, its lowest level since April, signaling “extreme fear.”

The index fell sharply from 71 (Greed) just a week ago, reflecting a major shift in sentiment. Historically, such deep fear levels have marked buying opportunities, often preceding strong Bitcoin rebounds — the April dip was followed by a 70% surge in BTC over six months.

Will history repeat? Or is this time different?
