Fear and Greed nudges towards 'Neutral' as crypto markets turn green

October 4, 2024

BITCOIN once again tested the critical $60,000 support level yesterday for the third time in just a week. But it bounced off this floor, posting a 2% recovery overnight to trade around $61,400.

Ethereum also managed to buck its recent losing streak, with price gains north of 2%, pulling several altcoins into the green. Aave surged by 9%, while Shiba Inu and Dogecoin added 8% and 6% respectively.

The crypto market sentiment, reflected by the Fear and Greed Index, remains cautious but is inching closer to 'Neutral' territory.

The question now is whether this recent price action signals the beginning of a broader rebound. After weeks of testing major support levels, crypto bulls are watching closely, hoping for sustained momentum in the days ahead.
