The fear and greed index dropped to 20 on Dec. 26, marking 14 straight days in extreme fear. This is one of the longest stretches since the index launched in 2018. The crypto market has seen declining sentiment since early October due to tariff tensions and rate uncertainty. Bitcoin now trades at $88,650, down nearly 30% from its peak. Retail activity has also fallen, with search volume and social engagement hitting bear market levels. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said crypto-native traders are pulling back, while traditional investors add Bitcoin via ETFs, which have drawn over $25 billion in 2025.
