Crypto market fear and greed index falls to record low, increasing investor anxiety
25.02.2026
The index of fear and greed in the cryptocurrency market reached a record low of 5 points, which indicates a significant increase in negative sentiment among market participants. Over the past 24 hours, the index dropped by 4 points, and over the week - by 7 points, indicating the growing anxiety and caution of investors.According to the latest data, since mid-January 2026, the index has shown a steady decline, which is associated with the growth of volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets. Such values of the index are traditionally considered as an indicator of extreme fear, when most participants tend to avoid risks and prefer to preserve capital rather than invest in volatile assets.Experts note that such a low level of the index may lead to a decrease in trading activity and liquidity in the market. At the same time, historically, periods of extreme fear have sometimes preceded the trend reversal and the recovery of interest in cryptocurrencies.In the current environment, market participants are advised to exercise increased caution, closely monitor changes in market indicators and avoid impulsive decisions. The continued decline of the index requires special attention to risk management and portfolio diversification.
