Bitcoin's market sentiment has dipped into the fear zone, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index registering a score of 22. Historically, such levels have preceded significant price recoveries. Since November 2022, each period of fear has been followed by notable rallies, including a surge from $20,000 to over $30,000 in March 2023 and a 180% increase in September 2023. Similar patterns were observed in 2024 and 2025, with fear preceding price surges exceeding 100%. Analysts view this fear as a contrarian indicator, suggesting potential accumulation opportunities for long-term investors.
