Crypto Fear and Greed Index Stays in Extreme Fear
- The Fear and Greed Index remains at extreme fear levels.
- Bitcoin falls below $90,000, pushing market sentiment further.

The Fear and Greed Index, tracked by Alternative.me, recently increased but remains in extreme fear territory at 20, as recorded on November 26, 2025.
This sentiment measurement highlights market anxiety, as evidenced by Bitcoin’s price drop below $90,000, indicating heightened sell-off pressure among traders.
The Fear and Greed Index currently indicates an extreme fear level of 19. Tracking by multiple platforms such as Alternative.me shows variations, highlighting overall market apprehension as Bitcoin dips further in value.
The current change involves the absence of official statements from key crypto figures or leaders, and platforms like Alternative.me automate these updates. No significant descriptions about these updates exist on major official channels yet.
The immediate effects are visible in the cryptocurrency market’s volatility. Bitcoin’s value drop has led to an increased fear sentiment, reflected through indices monitored by several platforms.
Financial implications include speculative trading and increased stablecoin reserves. This suggests a risk-averse approach by traders amid a backdrop of declining values and uncertain market conditions.
No real-time insights from major crypto leaders directly ascertaining the index status. However, market players speculate the index hints at potential buying opportunities amid the prevailing volatility. “Extreme fear is usually the best time to buy, but only if you have the stomach for volatility,” said Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision.
Data from Glassnode and CryptoQuant reveals more selling pressures in the market, coupled with rising stablecoin reserves, suggesting heightened concerns over liquidity and volatility, yet no major liquidity crisis is confirmed.
