Extreme market fear represents a period of intense investor apprehension and pessimism in financial markets. This condition is characterized by significant price declines, high volatility, and a strong propensity for investors to sell assets, often without rational consideration, driven by panic. It is typically measured by sentiment indicators like the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which registers very low scores during such times. Extreme fear can lead to rapid market capitulation and often precedes potential market reversals.
Context

A key debate involves whether such periods represent capitulation and a potential bottom, or further downward pressure. Future observation will focus on how market sentiment indicators correlate with actual price movements and the speed of recovery following these intense periods of anxiety.
