Fear and Greed Index turned neutral and read 51.  Bitcoin is up a massive 7.57% in the past week. Bitcoin rose +61% in Q4 of 2016 and +171% in 2020 and 2024 could be similar. The crypto market Fear and Greed Index now sits at a neutral value of 51, signaling that the market could swing either way in the near future.
