Just checked the Fear & Greed Index this morning and it's sitting at 21 now, down from 23 yesterday. That's pretty deep into extreme fear territory honestly. The market sentiment has really turned dark these past few days.

For those curious how they calculate it, the index pulls from a bunch of factors - volatility takes the biggest chunk at 25%, then market volume another 25%, social sentiment 15%, surveys 15%, Bitcoin dominance 10%, and Google trends the remaining 10%. So it's not just one thing driving the needle, it's a mix of what's happening across the market.

When you see numbers that low, it usually means people are pretty scared out there. The fear is definitely outweighing any greed right now. Could be worth watching if this bounces back or if we're headed even deeper into fear mode. Market cycles are wild like this.
