Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto Rhythm】 Recently, I came across a set of data that was quite shocking—the panic and greed index in the crypto market dropped to 11 yesterday, down significantly from 16 the day before. What does this indicate? Market anxiety has exploded and is now in a state of extreme panic. This level is close to the highest peak since the beginning of the year.

How is this index calculated? It combines multiple dimensions: volatility accounts for 25%, market trading volume also 25%, social media buzz and market surveys each 15%, Bitcoin’s market weight makes up 10%, plus 10% from Google search hot words. So this isn’t an arbitrary number; it’s an integrated signal from various market indicators.

The index ranges from 0 to 100, and now dropping to 11 means market participants’ sentiment has completely shifted to panic. Trading volume is shrinking, volatility is soaring, social media discussion intensity is changing, and investor sentiment surveys also reflect a pessimistic outlook. This usually indicates the market has reached an extreme point.

11？This is the real bottom-fishing opportunity. While everyone is panicking, I am already sweeping the floors. --- Here we go again? It was the same story last year, and what happened? It skyrocketed right after, and those with a fragile mindset were washed out. --- Trading volume shrinks while volatility spikes. To put it simply, no one dares to act. Let’s wait and see. --- No matter how low the index goes, if you don’t have money, you don’t have money. I just want to know when the real rebound will happen. --- I have one question: at 11, did you cut losses or bottom-fish? Honestly.

11? Damn... Is this a bottoming out or a continued plunge? My time to stay alert is limited, but I can feel the taste of danger.

11 is really incredible. What are we doing, still buying the dip or cutting losses at this point, everyone? --- Oh my god, it dropped back to single digits. My kidneys are about to be gone... --- Wait, let me look at this data again. Trading volume shrinking while volatility spikes—this must be a bottom signal, right? Or am I overthinking it? --- The panic index is at maximum, indicating someone is dumping. From my perspective, we need to endure this period. --- 11, brothers, will history repeat itself? --- After this drop, how many "cut losses" farmers will be killed? Haha. --- Is the panic index reliable? It feels like the market is much crazier than the data suggests. --- When the index rebounds, those holding coins will be laughing.

Damn, 11? Seeing this number really messes with my mindset. Is it really a bottom signal or just going to keep crashing down? --- The index is at 11 and still hasn't rebounded. At this rate, it might drop to single digits. --- Every time I see extreme panic, I want to go all in, but I'm afraid of getting caught off guard... Can someone tell me if this is really the bottom this time? --- Trading volume shrinks while volatility soars, truly a feast for cutting losses. --- Has the discussion heat on social media changed? It shows that big players have already quietly started accumulating.

11 this number is really outrageous, is it really a bottom signal or a signal to cut losses? I fucking don't know who to believe anymore.
