- It reflects the U.S. dollar’s strength against Bitcoin; staying in fear shows the dollar is dominant and suppresses Bitcoin prices.
- It tracks the profitability of Bitcoin miners and its 30-day dip in the index signals that miners are less profitable and likely to shut off rigs.
- It measures social media mention volume and staying in fear means fewer posts about Bitcoin on forums.
Pourquoi est-ce la bonne réponse?
This is correct because the Fear & Greed Index aggregates market psychology into a simple score. When it remains in fear for an extended period, it indicates widespread caution and the risk of panic selling. Beginners should know that such sustained fear can drive prices lower and that patience is often advisable until sentiment turns neutral or greedy.
