According to @rovercrc, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index jumped today from 24 to 38, marking a 14-point rise in the crypto market sentiment gauge (source: @rovercrc on X, Oct 13, 2025). The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is published by Alternative.me and is designed to quantify investor sentiment on a 0 to 100 scale (source: Alternative.me). Alternative.me classifies readings below 25 as extreme fear and 25 to 49 as fear, so today’s move reflects a shift from extreme fear to fear (source: Alternative.me). With neutral at 50, a reading of 38 remains in the fear zone below neutral, a context traders track when evaluating crypto risk appetite alongside BTC and ETH (source: Alternative.me).

According to KookCapitalLLC, the crypto market may only see upward momentum once major holder James Wynn capitulates, suggesting that his position is a critical sentiment indicator for timing a potential reversal (source: KookCapitalLLC on Twitter, June 2, 2025). This perspective highlights the market's focus on large individual holders as signals for bottoming patterns, influencing short-term trading strategies and reinforcing the importance of tracking high-profile wallet activity for informed trading decisions.
