Just checked the crypto fear and greed index and it's sitting at 18 right now—that's pretty much extreme fear territory. We saw a brief bounce to 25 mid-week but sentiment cooled off quick. The whole vibe feels fragile with geopolitical stuff and macro uncertainty weighing everything down. BTC got hit hard, but altcoins have been getting absolutely wrecked. I'm seeing data showing about 38% of alts are hovering near their all-time lows, and trading volume has basically halved across the board. The liquidity squeeze is real. What's wild is how the public sentiment has shifted too—people are literally searching 'Bitcoin going to zero' on Google. When the fear and greed crypto gauge gets this extreme, it usually means retail and pros alike are in full defensive mode. The bear market that kicked off last year has really left its mark on investor psychology. Until we see some macro clarity or geopolitical tensions ease up, I'm expecting this liquidity crunch and cautious behavior to stick around. Watching for any sign of demand returning, but for now the fear and greed sentiment is basically dictating price action.
