Bitcoin Reclaims $20,000 as Fear and Greed Index Jumps, Signifying Bullishness

Although Bitcoin (BTC) closed last week below $19k, extending its losing streak, the world’s largest cryptocurrency has quickly regained lost ground, benefiting from a slight rebound in investor sentiment.

The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index — the most popular metric used to gauge Bitcoin price sentiment — jumped over the weekend, moving from 11/100 to 19/100 on Tuesday, July 5th.

The price of Bitcoin jumped in tandem with the metric, seeing it recover from a low of $19,037 on Saturday, July 2nd, to trade as high as $20,405 on Tuesday, July 5th.
