The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a widely watched sentiment gauge for the digital asset market, rose marginally to 15 on June 27, 2026, up from 13 the previous day, according to data provider Alternative.me. The index, which ranges from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed), has now spent multiple days in the 'Extreme Fear' bracket. A reading of 15 is still far from the all-time lows of around 6 seen during the 2022 bear market, but it signals that market participants remain deeply risk-averse amid ongoing uncertainties.
The index components include market volatility, trading volume, social media sentiment, dominance, and more. A sustained 'Extreme Fear' reading often precedes market bottoms, as seen in historical cycles. However, traders should combine this data with other technical and fundamental indicators to form a comprehensive view.
