Crypto investors are finally breathing a little easier. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index climbed out of the “fear” range on Sunday, reaching neutral territory for the first time in over two weeks, as Bitcoin regained strength around the $115,000 mark.
The index — which tracks overall investor sentiment using volatility, trading volume, and social trends — now stands at 51/100, signaling a balanced mood in the market. That’s an 11-point jump from Saturday’s “fear” score of 40 and more than 20 points higher than last week, showing a sharp recovery in confidence.
Just over two weeks ago, the tone was completely different. Following President Trump’s announcement of new China tariffs on Oct. 10, the index nosedived from a “greed” score of 71 to a yearly low of 24, as roughly $19 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in a matter of hours.
Signs that Bitcoin selling pressure is easing
According to data from Glassnode, Bitcoin’s recent volatility may be stabilizing. In a Sunday update on X, the analytics firm noted that both spot and futures Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) have flattened — a sign that the wave of aggressive selling might finally be over.
“For the first time since the October 10th correction, selling pressure has leveled off,” Glassnode wrote, adding that funding rates remain subdued, showing no signs of excessive long exposure or market euphoria.
Interestingly, funding even dipped into negative territory several times in the past two weeks — a reflection of traders’ cautious stance despite the price recovery.
Beyond sentiment, macroeconomic expectations could play a key role in sustaining Bitcoin’s momentum. Traders are now betting almost unanimously on another U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut at the upcoming Oct. 29 meeting.
Data from CME Group’s FedWatch Tool indicates a 96.7% probability that the Fed will lower rates by 25 basis points — a move historically linked to renewed appetite for risk assets, including crypto.
With sentiment improving and macro tailwinds forming, the market appears to be tiptoeing out of fear — but whether confidence will turn back into “greed” remains to be seen.
