Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Drops To 10% As Price Holds Near $71,262 After $74,000 Rejection

Over the past week, Bitcoin once again failed to break through the $74,000 resistance, even as broader financial markets remained unsettled. On March 13, on-chain data cited by analyst Axel Adler Jr showed the 30‑day average Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index sliding to 10%, a pessimism level last seen during the COVID-19 and Terra (LUNA) crashes. While BTC trades around $71,262 with a modest daily gain, historical patterns suggest such extreme fear has previously coincided with or preceded market bottoms.
