This happened as the price of the world’s largest cryptocurrency has dropped by 2.5% today, from $85,830 to the $83,812 price mark, where BTC is changing hands at press time. Traditionally, the zones of fear and particularly of extreme fear indicate that investors are worried, and this presents a buying opportunity, which may precede a price surge.
As for the zones of greed and extreme greed, the market enters them when it is overheated and it is moving toward a correction.
