Crypto Fear and Greed Index Shows High Levels of Greed
According to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, the index has reached 65, indicating a level of greed similar to late April and early May.
Back in April 26, Bitcoin also touched $30,000 and subsequently experienced a continuous decline.
Bitcoin Volatility on the Rise
The Block points out that prior to this recent surge, Bitcoin's volatility was even more stable than tech stocks like Amazon and Meta. However, data shows that Bitcoin's volatility has increased to the highest level since mid-May.
From a low of 31% on June 6, it has risen to the current 51.82%.
Although there hasn't been a significant increase in spot trading volume on exchanges, The Block cites industry insiders suggesting that the price increase may be partly attributed to institutional trading occurring over-the-counter (OTC).
