The sentiment among crypto investors has oscillated between “fear” and “extreme fear” since the market flash crash on October 10, 2025.
The CoinMarketCap “Crypto Fear and Greed Index,” a metric tracking crypto investor sentiment, flipped to “neutral” on Sunday, for the first time since October, signaling that investor sentiment is improving.
The Index is at 40, signaling that investors are no longer fearful, but they are not bullish on the crypto market either. The Index recorded its lowest sentiment reading of 2025 in November, when it hit a 10, indicating “extreme fear,” according to CoinMarketCap.
Crypto investor sentiment plunged in October, sparked by a historic market crash that derailed the crypto market bull run. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) hit an all-time high above $125,000 days before the crash, eventually falling to about $80,000 — a 35% drop.
