Fear and greed are powerful emotional drivers influencing participant behavior in financial markets. Fear typically leads to panic selling and price drops, while greed often results in speculative buying and market surges, frequently detaching asset prices from fundamental value. These emotions are often measured by market indicators, such as the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, to gauge overall market sentiment. Understanding these psychological factors is crucial for analyzing market cycles and volatility.
