Greed and Fear Index has soared to 11 again. The stock market plunged last night, and the crypto market followed suit in panic, with the index stubbornly stuck at the 50 level.

The most heartbreaking phenomenon is this: good news triggers a rally, while bad news causes a crash. When the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, the market actually falls; when they hint at holding steady, there’s another round of panic selling. Japan hikes interest rates? Don’t even mention it, the market continues to slide down. Even without any news, prices still plunge.

To put it simply, it’s now a collective psychology: no one dares to be too greedy because everyone is holding back a surge of fear. Good news is interpreted as bad news, and bad news directly triggers sell-offs. Under this emotional state, the crypto market is like a seesaw, swinging wildly and never stable.

Oh my, this market is really crazy. Good news and bad news can both cause a sell-off. This level at 50 is a psychological barrier. Who dares to break through it? Forget it, let's wait. Entering now would just be risking being cut.

Damn, they're starting this again... Everything I buy turns out wrong, and not buying is also frustrating. Might as well just lie down here, anyway we're going to get harvested no matter what. This level at 50 really feels nailed down, it cracks me up. Good news, bad news crashing the market... Bro, your thought process is going crazy. The index skyrocketed to 11, it's scary just to watch, but I can't help but want to buy the dip.

The index card 50 thing, I had a premonition long ago. On-chain data has been shouting about it, but the retail investors are still dreaming. --- Another round of "good news crashing the market"—this is pure market despair. --- The seesaw isn't wrong, but we need to see who is quietly building positions at the bottom—that's the real story of the bottoming phase. --- After the Federal Reserve's series of moves, I think this is just a modern interpretation of the rise and fall of the mainland... --- Honestly, in this kind of market, those still chasing news are just feeding the whales. --- I’m not panicked by the fear index soaring, because what I fear most is not the decline, but that no one dares to buy the dip. --- The price plunges even without news—what does that mean? It shows everyone has already seen through it, but no one dares to act first. --- The current market is a collection of retail investor mentality—whoever is greedy gets hit, plain and simple. --- The 50 level is being held so tightly; I feel the bottom consensus might be closer than we think. --- All the bearish signals point in one direction, but the real opportunity often hides in despair.

This is outrageous. The good news causes a sharper drop, and everyone is suspicious of each other.

The market has never been rational; frankly, it's just a loss of confidence.

This is just outrageous. Good news and bad news both drop, and even when it doesn't move, it still drops. What’s the point of playing anymore? The market is numb now; it all depends on who has the strongest mentality. The index is stuck at 50 and not moving; it feels like only a major event can break the deadlock. Collective fear is more terrifying than collective greed. Honestly, at this point, the people who should be buying the dip are actually fleeing. One thing has been repeatedly confirmed: retail investors always react a beat too late. I’m done watching everything; I’ll wait for the market to figure itself out.

This is the illness of the crypto world. Reverse trading based on news has become the norm. Who understands? The index hitting 50 is really incredible, I just haven't decided which side to bet on yet. Everyone is betting on others' emotions, and in the end, everyone loses. It's hilarious. Good news is actually causing short squeezes. Who dares to take the other side now? The seesaw analogy is perfect. If this sideways movement continues, the index could get stuck completely.

This is a typical case of "both good and bad news lead to a drop." The market is completely irrational. Everyone has been scared off by this round of panic selling, and now no one dares to buy the dip. Is it so difficult for the index to break through 50? It feels like it will continue to fluctuate.

This is a game of psychological manipulation by the funds; no one dares to take over. Bad news causes a sell-off, good news also causes a sell-off; the market is just digesting fear. The 50 level is dead, and another wave of decline could come at any time. It's really exhausting. The index soaring to 11 indicates that big players are also betting against each other; no one has confidence. Now it's just waiting for that real trigger point, or continuing to range sideways and wear people out.
