Although the trend is in the neutral zone, the index has continued to rise slowly from last month (50) to the present (59), reflecting increased investor optimism in recent weeks.

The chart shows that the movement of the Fear and Greed Index has a strong correlation with the price of Bitcoin:

Index spikes to the Extreme Greed area often occur when BTC hits annual price peaks.
The drop to Extreme Fear coincides with a sharp correction phase in early 2025.

Currently, Bitcoin is seen in a consolidation phase, while the index is in a mid-range, signaling investors are still waiting for the next big catalyst before taking more aggressive positions.

What Does It Mean for Investors?

The Neutral Zone as it is now is often considered the “calm before the storm” period. This could be the moment:
