Bitcoin's Fear & Greed Index hit a 2025 low of 10, indicating extreme fear, yet institutions have invested $24 billion through ETFs. Despite retail panic and $19 billion in liquidations, experts suggest this may be the end of a six-month bear phase. Institutional buying, particularly by firms like BlackRock and Fidelity, suggests a structural market shift rather than a cycle top. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley argues that ETF dynamics have altered traditional market cycles, potentially setting the stage for a strong recovery.
