The 4E crypto fear and greed index has dropped to 45 as of September 22, indicating a shift towards 'fear' in the market. This decline from 49 the previous day and an average of 53 over the past week reflects growing caution among investors. The index, which assesses market sentiment through factors like volatility, trading volume, and social media trends, suggests a more cautious outlook. In parallel developments, EU finance ministers have agreed on a roadmap for the digital euro during a meeting in Copenhagen. The digital euro is seen as a political statement of European sovereignty, though it still requires European Parliament approval and is not expected to be fully legislated until June 2026. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading near $117,800, with significant ETF inflows of $2.8 billion since September 9. Researcher Axel Adler Jr. notes a 70% probability of Bitcoin reaching a new high if it closes above $117,500 in the coming weeks. Investors are advised to remain cautious amid these mixed signals.
