Fear and Greed: How to Catch Falling Knives?

Sentiment in financial markets has hit its lowest point in more than five years. The Fear and Greed Index fell to 4 on Friday and fell to just 3 at the start of trading in the new week. In recent history, only a return of the index above 10 was the first early signal of a rebound in growth. We consider a move out of the extreme fear zone, i.e., above the 25 level, to be a more reliable indicator.

Today's index levels are the lows since the end of March 2020, when covid lockdowns stormed markets. Back then, the index's period of single-digit levels lasted from 5 to 23 March. The result was a drop of more than 30% in the S&P 500.

Crypto: A More Subdued Decline, Not Yet a Reversal

The cryptocurrency market found its footing on Monday with the start of active trading in Europe. However, that rebound from the $2.37 trillion level to $2.55 trillion appears to be losing steam. Even at current levels, the decline over the past seven days is over 8%. Without reliable signs of a reversal in the stock markets, the upward momentum could quickly fade. It looks like we are not seeing a reversal but only a stabilisation of the decline.

Bitcoin slipped below $75k at the start of the week, bouncing briefly above $80k on Monday and Tuesday. The technical picture for Bitcoin remains tragic. Earlier this month, a death cross formed when the 50-day average dipped below the 200-day. Last year, a similar signal had the opposite effect, recording a low a couple of days before the signal. But in the last couple of months, the downward trending 50-day has been acting as an effective resistance. In case of a market reversal, a consolidation above the 86k level, where it is now, would be an important signal of a break in the downtrend.

The crypto market has returned to this week’s lows

Crypto market capitalisation declined more than 2% in 24 hours to $2.46 trillion. As was the case at the beginning of the week, the intraday dip below $2.40 trillion attracted buyers. As is often the case, an important resistance level became support. From around these levels, we saw the start of the rally after Trump's election, and now the fightback is intensifying again, as seen in the increased trading volumes.

Crypto market sentiment was at its lowest point in the last five weeks, with the corresponding index to 18 (extreme fear) declining. By the index's design, these levels are buying opportunities. However, it is much more prudent to buy when the index is confidently moving out of the extreme fear zone.

Dollar pressured as markets are betting on a dovish Fed

Over the past week, the probability of a key Fed rate cut in May jumped from 11% to 47% and reached nearly 60% on Tuesday.

For year-end, the market now sees the prevailing scenario as a 100-point rate cut to 3.25%-3.50% or lower with a 75% probability, although a month ago, those odds were barely above a quarter.
