Fear(0)/Greed(100) Index: 30/100 (Down 21 pts) Analyst Comments (AC): Interesting drop from 'greed' to 'fear' in the greed/fear index today. Now that owners of bitcoin are not only bitcoin plebs, cypherpunks and insightful whales, but now also institutions, government entities, and general investors, there is now a higher correlation to mainstream financial narratives and world events. In other words, media reports and social media seem to have a higher impact on bitcoin price. Although bitcoiners continue to buy the dips there is a lot more institutional money yielding more power in the price action recently. It seems Bitcoin continues to evolve in society.
