The sentiment indicator in the cryptocurrency market is changing. Today, the Greed and Fear Index dropped to 82, a 6-point decrease from yesterday’s 88. Although the index still remains in the “Extreme Greed” level, this decline has sent a clear signal—the overly optimistic market sentiment is cooling down, and investor enthusiasm is no longer as high as it was the day before.

This index system is an important reference for market participants to observe investment psychology. The Greed and Fear Index captures market temperature through six dimensions: volatility accounts for 25%, trading volume accounts for 25%, social media buzz accounts for 15%, market survey questionnaires account for 15%, Bitcoin’s weight in the overall market is 10%, and Google search heat accounts for 10%. These factors intertwine to form a comprehensive market sentiment map.

From the data change, the index has fallen by 6 points in a short period, reflecting that the level of greed among market participants is easing. This indicates that within the framework of extreme greed, there is still a rational correction force, and the market is beginning to reassess risks and opportunities.
