Fear has dominated sentiment since the October liquidation crash more than two months ago, as bitcoin dropped 36% from its October all-time high. While the cryptocurrency market has yet to stage a meaningful recovery. With bitcoin currently trading nearly 30% below its all-time high, investor caution remains elevated.
A similar disconnect is occurring in U.S. equities. Sentiment currently sits at 42, which signals fear, according to the CNN Fear and Greed Index, even as the S&P 500 trades around 6,827, just a few percentage points below its all-time high.
Across both U.S. equities and cryptocurrencies, fear continues to dominate investor psychology.
Bitcoin entered a death cross in November, a technical pattern where the 50-day moving average falls below the 200 day moving average. In this instance, the death cross coincided with a local bottom near $80,000 on Nov. 21. Notably, every death cross during the current market cycle since 2023 has marked a significant local bottom, reinforcing its relevance as a contrarian indicator in this cycle.
