Fear and Greed Index reading of 13 on November 14, 2026. Source: Alternative.me.
The Fear and Greed Index stands at 13 (Extreme Fear) on November 14, according to the latest reading. It was 20 yesterday and 25 a week ago. A month ago it was 53, in the Neutral zone.
The 7-point one-day drop shows fear deepening quickly alongside the recent price weakness. Sentiment has fallen from Neutral to Extreme Fear over the past month, a 40-point decline, and the market has stayed in Extreme Fear for at least a week. Readings this low often reflect heavy selling and risk aversion, though they can also point to oversold conditions.

Today’s crypto news suggests: Macro and security risks carry the most weight, with Fed hike odds and Telegram flaws leading. Regulatory and corporate updates look less urgent, so prioritize safety.
Crypto stayed weak from November 13 to November 14. Market cap slipped from $2.45 trillion to $2.4 trillion, while Bitcoin eased from $68,904 to $68,245 and Ethereum from $1,936 to $1,928.
Fear deepened as the Fear and Greed Index fell from 20 to 13. Trading volume jumped from $68.6 billion to $97.7 billion, showing heavier activity. Akedo’s 382% surge replaced Sanctum as the day’s standout mover, while DeFi’s decline eased from 4.1% to 2.8%.
The market looks fearful and fragile. Total market cap fell 3.1%, and Bitcoin’s 3.8% drop dragged most major assets lower. The Fear and Greed Index at 13 shows traders are protecting capital, down sharply from 53 a month ago. Weakness is also touching DeFi, which slipped 2.8%, while stablecoins stayed nearly steady.
Rising volume suggests active selling rather than a quiet drift. AI Applications and Binance Wallet IDO were the day’s strongest categories, a small bright spot. Add in 89% odds of a December Fed hike and security warnings, and investors have reasons to stay careful.
Today calls for caution, not aggression. With the Fear and Greed Index at 13, sentiment is very weak, and while extreme fear can create opportunities, prices can keep falling if selling continues.
Bitcoin and Ethereum remain the lower-risk part of the market, but both fell nearly 4%. Small, thinly traded tokens are far riskier, as Akedo’s 382% jump shows; such spikes can reverse fast.
Investors should avoid chasing rallies, spread money across assets, and invest only what they can afford to lose. Daily readers should watch Fed rate-hike signals. This is general information, not financial advice.
