The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has hit ‘extreme greed’ territory for the first time since late 2024, registering a score of 81 on CoinMarketCap and marking one of the most dramatic sentiment reversals in the gauge’s tracking history.
Just one month ago, the same index sat at 36, firmly in ‘fear’ territory. A week before the reading, it was at 41, barely nudging into neutral. The jump to 81 represents a 45-point climb in 30 days and erases nearly all of the caution that defined the first half of 2026. The score crossed 80, the threshold the index defines as ‘extreme greed,’ late Sunday evening and held there into Monday.
