Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to reach new highs. Bitcoin is already above $72,000, while Ethereum is targeting a breakout above $2,320.

Against this backdrop, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 62 points, entering the greed zone for the first time since January. The shift in sentiment was rapid even by cryptocurrency market standards. A month ago, the index stood at 25 in the extreme fear zone; a week ago, it had risen to 29; and just the previous day, it stood at 46. Bitcoin's move above $72,000, combined with a record wave of short-position liquidations exceeding $3 billion, then shifted market sentiment decisively toward greater optimism.

The change in sentiment logically followed the price movement itself. It is worth noting that Bitcoin has broken above the $62,000–66,900 sideways range, with two consecutive catalysts triggering the move: the U.S. Treasury's decision to double purchases of long-term government bonds, followed by Trump's meeting with cryptocurrency industry leaders at the White House, where the president called on Congress to pass the CLARITY Act and indicated that large-scale government purchases of Bitcoin could be possible.

It was precisely the combination of positive macroeconomic and political developments with a market heavily loaded with short positions that created the conditions for the sentiment index to jump from extreme fear to greed in less than a month.

It should be noted that such sharp reversals in the index have not always historically coincided with a sustained continuation of the upward trend, so caution is warranted when buying at current highs.
