Crypto Fear and Greed Index Taps Low at ‘Extreme Fear,’ BTC Technicals Point to Uncertainty On Wednesday, following the drop below the $30,000 region, bitcoin’s price has rebounded more than 8% since Tuesday’s low. Meanwhile, the sentiment metric recorded by the Crypto Fear and Greed Index (CFGI) is extremely low, pointing to "extreme fear" in the market. Despite being a scary term, the time is usually the best time to obtain assets for a lower price. However, data from Tradingview’s technicals show bitcoin is still in the "sell" range, while bitcoin market oscillators are more "neutral." CFGI Sentiment Metric Reaches ‘Extreme Fear’The price of bitcoin (BTC) tapped a low of $29,300 on July 20, 2021, and since then the price has managed to jump back above the $32,000 handle. Despite the rebound, there’s a lot of uncertainty within the crypto space as far as short-term bitcoin price predictions are concerned. BTC/USD chart shows bitcoin managed to climb back above the $32K zone on Wednesday.Some believe the price may plunge to the $20,000 zone again and others believe a rebound is in the cards and the next trajectory will be well above the $64K all-time high. Most traders who believe this rebound could happen, think that today’s bitcoin price movements are eerily similar to the prices BTC saw in 2013. At that time, BTC plunged to $50 per coin after skyrocketing well above the $200 handle in mid-May 2013.
