ChainCatcher Message: The Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 40 on Sunday, turning to a “Neutral” state for the first time since October 2025, indicating an improvement in investor sentiment. The index previously hit a low of 10 in November last year during extreme fear. The sharp decline in investor sentiment was triggered by the historic market crash in October, when BTC dropped from a record high of $125,000 to $80,000, a 35% decline; altcoin market capitalization plummeted 33% in a single day.
Although sentiment has recovered from extreme fear at the end of 2025, geopolitical tensions and lack of retail interest may pose resistance in 2026.
