When I see the Fear & Greed Index sitting at 16, I don’t panic, I pause.
Because when there is extreme fear, price is usually doing its job, shaking out weak hands, forcing emotions to the surface. I’ve learned over time that markets rarely reward comfort. They reward patience when conviction is hardest to hold. Right now, there’s fear in headlines, fear in timelines, fear in candles. And that tells me something important: most people are reacting, not thinking. When everyone feels the same thing at once, risk is often already priced in.
I’m not saying this is the exact bottom. Markets don’t announce those. But I know this: periods like this are where long term positions are built, not chased. When sentiment is crushed, smart money starts planning, not tweeting.
So if you’re feeling uneasy, that’s normal. Just don’t confuse emotion with signal. Stay calm, stay selective, and remember why you’re here. This is where discipline matters most.
