【Crypto Movement】Yesterday’s panic index plummeted again. Dropping directly from 23 to 21, according to this trend, it’s definitely in the “Extreme Panic” zone.

To be honest, this index is quite interesting. It’s not made up out of thin air but combines six dimensions to measure market sentiment: volatility accounts for the largest share (25%), followed by market trading volume also at 25%. These two together give a pretty accurate picture of market heat and coldness. Social media buzz and market surveys each account for 15%, Bitcoin’s market share and Google trending analysis each make up 10%.

Although the numbers are small, the logic is clear. High volatility + sluggish trading volume + cold public opinion—these combined signals indeed indicate that currently, market sentiment is divided. “Extreme panic” sounds alarming, but for many traders, it’s just the right time to observe and strategize.

The 21 Fear Index, in simple terms, is a signal that it's time to start bottom fishing. --- Extreme panic = the big players are quietly accumulating, understand? --- Volatility + declining volume + cold public opinion—after this combo, it's indeed time to take action. --- Every time the index hits a new low, someone yells crash, but what’s the result? Those who should profit still profit. --- 21 is really in place, the question is whether you have ammunition... --- The panic index looks intimidating, but actually it just tells you: it's time to act, brother. --- Falling from 23 to 21, I actually find it a bit interesting. --- Entering during extreme panic—that's the right way to open positions. --- In simple terms, when others panic, we should be greedy—that's what the ancestors taught us.

Extreme panic? I actually think this is the real time to make money. --- The 21 panic index, to put it simply, is big players shaking out their positions, and the bottom signals are becoming more obvious. --- It always happens like this; the worst times are exactly the best entry points. --- High volatility and sluggish trading—aren't all retail investors being scared away? Smart money is laying out their positions. --- When the panic index drops to 21, I actually want to increase my position. I've seen this pattern too many times. --- To be honest, those still bottom-fishing are gamblers; the real institutions have long since entered. --- Extreme panic zone? Perfect, my watchlist is right here, waiting. --- People reading the news at this time are all chives; real traders are looking at on-chain data. --- 21 is just the beginning. I bet it will fall further, but not for much longer.

Really, I think the logic of the panic index is okay, but putting half the weight on volatility and trading volume is a bit too absolute. Is extreme panic actually an opportunity? It depends on whether you still have bullets left. This index sounds nice, but in reality, it's just looking at on-chain data and public sentiment, nothing black magic. Panic reaching 21? I'm actually a bit looking forward to a rebound; historical patterns are so ironic. Extreme panic = extreme opportunity? Sounds like a motivational quote, haha. Does the index dropping to extreme panic really indicate a bottom? I still have doubts about this weighted logic.

I only saw the panic index drop to 21, and I was already thinking about bottom fishing haha Extreme panic? Isn't this the good time for people like us? High volatility, dead trading volume, and no more public opinion. Basically, all retail investors have been scared away. The real opportunity window has arrived. Let's see who has a strong mindset.

Nonsense, this wave of the index drop is really fierce. I feel like the bottom hasn't arrived yet. --- The 21 Fear Index? I want to see who dares to buy the dip here. Anyway, I'm still watching. --- Extreme panic = buying opportunity? Wake up. This logic has tricked me several times. --- High volatility and sluggish trading volume, in other words, no one is playing anymore. This is the most dangerous time. --- Wait a minute, is this index really accurate? I feel like it always deceives me. --- There’s a sense that greed is about to come. Don’t always stick to panic mode. --- Rarely a quiet moment, but it makes people even more anxious. Not sure if I should move or not. --- No matter how low the index is, the big players are still big players. I choose to wait a bit longer. --- I've seen this extreme panic many times before. In the end, it's always the retail investors who get caught holding the bag.
