Despite the gains over the past two weeks, CFGI is still in “extreme fear” territory, ranking even lower than April 15. At the time of writing, the CFGI rank score is 16 out of 100, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the market will remain depressed. CFGI, hosted on Alternative.me, measures market sentiment, and the site states that there are two simple assumptions:
- extreme fear May indicate that investors are overly concerned. This could be a buying opportunity.
- when investors get too greedywhich means the market needs to correct.
However, extreme fear could also lead to more capitulation, and so-called buying opportunities could be much lower.Or it can also be assumed that the current time frame is a tiered buying opportunity and people are satisfied with the purchase bitcoin On the way down the mountain. The simple assumptions of CFGI are just that, because they may be accepted as truth, but they may not ultimately be realized.
Likewise, if “investors become too greedy,” as CFGI puts it, that doesn’t necessarily mean the crypto market will correct.This means that if someone takes such advice, they may sell bitcoin below what they can achieve by waiting. Then again, there’s always the old investing advice that there’s nothing wrong with profiting along the way.
