Jakarta, Pintu News – For the first time since October, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index returned to the neutral zone. This signals a transitional phase where traders are starting to reassess their risks. With Bitcoin successfully breaking back through the $90,000 mark, the market seems to be taking a deep breath after a period of high volatility.

In January 2026, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index reached neutral in the low 40s. The current market conditions are very different compared to a few months ago when optimism was subdued and there was no sustained price increase. Today, price activity remains high but without a clear trend in any direction.
Uncertainty is the main cause of this situation. While the last time crypto market sentiment was in the neutral zone, the calm didn’t last long. In early October 2025, after several months of gains, optimism began to fade even though prices were still high. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly reached a record high above $125,000, but the momentum has started to slow down.

After several weeks of erratic trading and trending in the lower price range, Bitcoin (BTC) is now showing improvement. The currency managed to return to the $90,000 zone with several consecutive strong green candles. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is above 60, indicating increasing bullish pressure.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has turned positive, signaling an emerging upward momentum. This rally comes after a long period of consolidation, so the current price action looks very healthy. As long as Bitcoin (BTC) can maintain levels above the recent breakout point, the trend is likely to continue. The neutral sentiment suggests that traders are becoming more selective.
Nic Puckrin, investment analyst and co-founder of Coin Bureau, told AMBCrypto that Bitcoin (BTC) sold off so much at the end of last year that there is now a reflexive bounce. ETF inflows show that institutions are starting to invest again, but this doesn’t mean Bitcoin (BTC) and gold will converge-for now, it’s just a coincidence.
