The Crypto Fear & Greed Index recently hit its lowest point since early 2023, signaling fear in the market following today's Bitcoin's drop almost $54,000.
This contrasts sharply with the extreme greed seen in March. Analysts suggest this could indicate a potential rebound for Bitcoin, as the index historically points to buying opportunities during periods of fear.
