The cryptocurrency market is currently in jitters, as Bitcoin continues to explore the 69K price range. The recent market crash has wiped away significant BTC gains, the ones that the token had accumulated since the election of President Donald Trump last year. With that, major altcoins like Ethereum also had to go through a lot, losing momentum and profits in one go. However, the retail direction is now moving forward, adapting to this new pace. Per the latest projections, these 15 altcoins are gaining immense momentum in the background. Do you own any of these?

As per the latest analysis by CryptosRUs on X, the crypto fear and greed index has hit a new low, predicting “extreme fear.” Such a reading is indicative of the investors’ sentiment and how it’s tilting towards a very cautious stance. This also triggers a panic setting among investors, compelling them to engage in a sell-off, which may later worsen the market activity. The portal was quick to add how such extreme levels were last seen in 2018 during the bear market bottom and in 2022 when the FTX fallout had shaken the markets core.

“The Crypto Fear & Greed Index just dropped into extreme fear—one of the lowest readings in recent history. We’ve only seen similar levels during major stress moments like the 2018 bear market bottom. The March 2020 crash, and the 2022 FTX fallout.”

The portal, however, was quick to share how such bottoms play a crucial role in reshaping the market’s trajectory. With the market confidence building slowly, a reset is underway, which gradually helps the market recover and bounce back to a better shape than before.

“When the crowd is focused on avoiding more pain rather than chasing upside. Markets are often closer to exhaustion than expansion. Sentiment is washed out, and that’s where new cycles quietly begin. 👀 “
