Market sentiment hits bottom: December's fear index remains in the extreme panic zone

2025-12-20 08:50:08

【Blockchain Rhythms】Market sentiment data for December 20th is out — the Fear and Greed Index has just reached 20, a slight rebound from yesterday’s 16, but the overall market still remains in an “Extreme Fear” environment.

How is this index calculated? It actually combines multiple dimensions: volatility accounts for the largest share (25%), followed by market trading volume (25%), then social media buzz (15%), market surveys (15%), Bitcoin’s market dominance (10%), and Google search trend data (10%). These data points are integrated to paint a true picture of the current market sentiment.

From the index, investor sentiment remains quite cautious, with no significant increase in market participation or enthusiasm.

The number 20... is still too heart-wrenching. At this rate, it has to fall to single digits before it can rebound. The index only rose by 4 points and it's considered good news? I see it as a straw to clutch at in despair. Volatility and volume account for half the weight, and now both are dead, no wonder the sentiment is so poor. The true mindset is: how much longer will it fall? I can barely hold on.

The number 20 is still too heartbreaking; the bottom signal hasn't arrived yet. It's been so long, when will we see true despair? Data can be deceptive, but wallets won't be. Did anyone manage to buy the dip this time? The index is only 20, why do I feel even more hopeless... Wait, such low trading volume? What the hell are people buying now? Extreme panic = the best opportunity to jump in? Or should we keep waiting and watching? Volatility accounts for the largest proportion, does that mean it's a gambler's game now? Caution is bullshit; this is numbness.

The number 20... is still too low, it feels like we haven't even reached the bottom. The composition of the index is still a bit shallow, with only 15% social media popularity? What about those people crying every day? In the extreme panic zone, it's actually a good opportunity to buy in, everyone is scared. Wait, Bitcoin's share is only 10%, this weight distribution is a bit strange. Isn't the current caution just the calm before the next big surge? Low participation? That's because we haven't reached the true bottom yet. An upward push in the index is a signal. I think it will only start to heat up next year.

The number 20... feels like we haven't reached the bottom yet --- Extreme panic is the right mindset. I already ran away --- The volatility accounts for 25%—this data is a bit inflated. Mainly because trading volume is too sparse --- Only 20 for the index? It feels like the real bottom should be in the single digits --- The survey accounts for 15%—that's pretty outrageous. Everyone is just pretending to be dead --- Unremarkable and uneventful—that's the most agonizing part --- Bitcoin's proportion has instead become a stabilizer—ironic --- What does the decline in social media buzz indicate? Major investors have gone into hiding --- Investors are cautious? That's a load of crap. Is this called despair?

The number 20 is a bit heartbreaking; no one is even playing cautiously anymore. Extreme panic has really scared away the newcomers; could this actually be an opportunity? The index only rose by 4 points, but it feels like it didn't go up at all. The market is so cold that we have to wait further. Volatility is the main factor; no wonder it's a roller coaster every day. Who can handle this?

The number 20 is truly incredible; it feels like the entire market is frozen. This wave of panic still needs to continue; there's no sign of a rebound. The index is so low, which means everyone is afraid to move—truly a moment of extreme panic. With such high volatility, it can only reach 20; the bottom hasn't been seen yet. Caution is right, but how long will this continue? Market participation is so weak, no wonder the atmosphere is so oppressive. After analyzing so many dimensions of data, only one word comes to mind: "timid," haha. Is it truly panic, or is the market just shaking out weak hands? This is a question worth pondering. 20 points hit too hard; how much longer will this recovery take?
