The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index, which reveals the crypto community’s general feelings towards the primary cryptocurrency, has gone into an “extreme fear” territory for the first time since the end of July. This comes as the digital asset’s price dropped by $8,000 in just a few days.
The latest developments of the financial market, especially the recent Evergrande debt crisis in China, caused a major setback for the digital asset industry. As a result, bitcoin’s price plunged massively to below $40,000, which became the lowest price tag since early April. Somewhat expectedly, similar developments have caused a rapid change in the community’s sentiment on the asset.
The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index confirms these expectations. The popular metric that determines the general feelings towards BTC has dropped to a state of “extreme fear.” The last time it dived to such a low level was on July 21st when bitcoin dipped below $30,000.
