Reflecting a severe deterioration in trader sentiment, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has plunged to 11, signaling a state of 'Extreme Fear' as Bitcoin dropped below the $66,000 mark. According to reports, the market is facing intensified selling pressure driven by large-scale liquidations and 'whale' selling as prices enter a critical demand zone.
