The selloff sent the Crypto Fear and Greed Index back down to 5, signaling a state of extreme market fear. This reading matches the index’s historic lows, including those seen in June 2022 and earlier this month.

Meanwhile, on-chain analytics provider Glassnode reported that recent investors are still capitulating. The firm stated, “While the intensity has cooled, the broader regime still signals a market under pressure.”

Analyst Michaël van de Poppe highlighted a “phenomenal chart” showing Bitcoin’s Sharpe Ratio at -38.4. This ratio, which measures risk-adjusted return, has only been lower twice in Bitcoin’s history.
