Bitcoin (BTC) might have recovered from the $47,000 low seen on April 25, but the subsequent 15% bounce was not enough to bring optimism to the BTC options markets. Even at the present $54,000 level, the price remains 17% below the $64,900 all-time high reached on April 14.

The popular Crypto Fear & Greed Index reached its lowest level in 12 months, signaling thatinvestors are closer to "extreme fear," which is a complete reversal from the "extreme greed" level seen on April 18. This indicator gathers data from price volatility, volume change, social media activity, Bitcoin dominance and recent search trends.
