Traditionally, a score between 26 and 46 on this index indicates that fear is likely influencing market dynamics, possibly leading to more conservative investor behavior. This shift comes amid a drastic downturn in Bitcoin prices, which has significantly affected the mood among cryptocurrency traders.
