Bitcoin plummeted to a low of around $60,000 after the Crypto Fear & Greed Index hit its lowest score since mid-2022, when the Terra blockchain collapsed.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to a score of 9 out of 100 on Friday, indicating “extreme fear” in the market and hitting its lowest point since June 2022, when sentiment and the market fell in the wake of the collapse of the Terra blockchain a month earlier.

The index has been at a low for the last fortnight as Bitcoin (BTC) has tanked 38% from its 2026 high of $97,000 in just three weeks, wiping out all gains for the past sixteen months.

BTC Will Be the Real Winner of the Fourth Turning — Analyst

The post BTC Will Be the Real Winner of the Fourth Turning — Analyst appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) is poised to grow in price and adoption regardless of the macroeconomic scenarios that will unfold in the coming years and decades, as the global financial system heads for a Fourth Turning-style reset, according to market analyst Jordi Visser. Visser told Anthony Pompliano that the average person has lost confidence in all legacy institutions, which should drive investment into BTC — a neutral, permissionless, global asset not tied to governments or traditional organizations.

I don’t trust anything, and so, I don’t see how you all of a sudden get the trust back.”  The comments came amid lowered consumer confidence, geopolitical tensions, and record-high government debt, which is devaluing the average individual’s purchasing power and creating the need for an alternative financial system based on incorruptible hard money.  Related: ‘Bitcoin Standard’ author: Argentina’s bond ‘Ponzi’ near collapse, Bitcoin is the exit Consumer confidence craters as most people are stuck at the bottom of a K-shaped economy “The growing number of people on the bottom end of the K do not feel like they’re part of the system, and this is part of the Fourth Turning,” Visser said.  A K-shaped economy refers to a financial system in which different segments…
