Fear and Greed Index 14: The win rate of buying at this level in history Fear and Greed Index is at 14. Last week it was 9, so it’s slightly better this week, but still in 'Extreme Fear.' According to Santiment data, the day BTC dropped below $65K, negative sentiment on social media hit a 2-week high. Beth Kindig called it 'cycle top,' and the comments section was full of agreement. But I checked historical data—when the Fear and Greed Index is below 15, the probability of positive returns after holding for 90 days is over 85%. I’m not making this up, the on-chain data is right there. The market narrative is super divided right now: one side says 'cycle top theory' (the cycle is over, stop struggling), while the other side says 'golden dip theory' (on-chain data is all signaling accumulation). Both sides have data to back them up, and that’s what makes it so frustrating.
