The Cryptocurrency Market Fear and Greed Index has surged to 40, returning to a neutral zone. This is the first time since October 2025, reflecting a rebound in market participants' sentiment. Looking back, the index once plunged to the extreme fear bottom in November last year.

However, the current challenges should not be underestimated. The repeated turbulence in geopolitical situations and the continued weakness in retail participation are two major factors that could become significant obstacles to the market rally in 2026. Investors need to closely monitor these risk points and proceed with cautious planning for subsequent strategies.

40 minutes? Laughing and then crying, this is called warming up. I thought we could reach 60. Geopolitics is causing chaos every day. Retail investors have long since hidden under the blankets. Who still dares to make moves, haha? Neutral positions are like an ex-girlfriend saying "Let's cool down first." Just listen and don't take it seriously.

40 minutes? Are we really warming up or just fooling ourselves? Retail investors are still hiding, geopolitical tensions are flaring up again, and it feels like this rebound is a bit fake. Neutral is neutral, anyway I'm still waiting for a more severe drop. I never trust this index; only the order book tells the real story.

Position 40, to put it simply, still lacks confidence The real issue is retail investors' weakness; institutions are accumulating chips Geopolitical tensions are unpredictable; who the hell dares to hold heavy positions? From extreme fear to neutrality, the rebound space is limited, right? A shift in sentiment ≠ market rally; these two should not be equated

40 minutes? Not bad, at least it's not that kind of beat-down pace.

Neutral position? What does this number mean... Retail investors are probably still in a state of lying flat.

Neutral position? This move is a bit interesting --- The market has warmed up again, retail investors still have no action... --- Geopolitical issues can't be resolved, and the market is also hard to stabilize --- From extreme fear to neutral, finally a recovery --- Wait, retail participation is still weak --- The pit in 2026 probably has to be stepped into by oneself --- A bunch of risk points, how to strategize --- The index has risen, but those real problems haven't been solved --- Can this neutral position hold? I'm worried --- Geopolitical turmoil, and we might have to go back again
