The fear index drops to 5, hitting multi-year lows. Bitcoin and Ethereum come under pressure. When will the market rebound?

February 12 News, the cryptocurrency market sentiment has sharply deteriorated. The latest data shows that the Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index has fallen to 5, officially entering the "Extreme Fear" zone, reflecting a rapid loss of investor confidence amid ongoing price declines and increasing macroeconomic uncertainty. The index was still at 26 a month ago and dropped to 12 a week ago, with the steep decline over a short period highlighting a dramatic shift in sentiment. This change is not an isolated event. The Global Uncertainty Index surged above 100,000 in the third quarter of 2025, and remained close to 95,000 in the fourth quarter, far exceeding the peaks seen during the pandemic, Brexit, and the Eurozone debt crisis. Geopolitical tensions, uncertain policy outlooks, and financial market volatility have collectively amplified risk-averse sentiment and driven capital outflows from high-risk assets.

U.S. non-farm payrolls added 130,000 jobs in January, far exceeding expectations, with the unemployment rate dropping to 4.3%. This result significantly dampened market expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, leading to sharp fluctuations in the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin plummeted over $3,000 in a single night, and Ethereum fell below $2,000.
