August 29, 2026, 12:02 AM
CoinMarketCap’s proprietary Crypto Fear and Greed Index came in at 78, down four points from yesterday and shifting from extreme greed to greed. The index suggests sentiment has eased slightly.
A reading closer to zero indicates extreme fear in the market, while a reading closer to 100 signals extreme optimism. CoinMarketCap calculates the index based on price movements among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, market volatility, derivatives-market indicators such as the put/call ratio, the stablecoin supply ratio, and CoinMarketCap’s own search data.Leave the first comment
