What is the Bitcoin Sentiment Index?
Why is there a need for a Bitcoin Sentiment index?
It’s no secret that the crypto market is quite volatile and emotional. And especially if such a massive event is about to occur in the cryptoverse, as is the Bitcoin Halving.
People tend to get greedy when the market is up, resulting in the formation of FOMO, or the fear of missing out on upward trends.
Also, people often sell their coins in irrational reaction to seeing red numbers.
This is why several platforms try to create these indices so that many Hodlers do not get carried away by their emotional side.
„Extreme fear can be a sign that investors are too concerned. That could be a buying opportunity.
When investors get too greedy, that means the market needs to be corrected,“ says the alternative.me team.
