Deep Tide TechFlow news, December 27th, according to Cointelegraph reports, Alternative data shows today’s cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index at 23, with the market having been in an ‘extreme fear’ state for two consecutive weeks.
For most of December, market sentiment has hovered near low levels, and industry analysts hold differing views on Bitcoin’s performance in 2026.
For instance, PlanC believes Bitcoin has never experienced two consecutive years of annual downtrend, thus anticipating a bull market next year; Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan is also optimistic about next year’s rise. Meanwhile, veteran trader Peter Brandt and Fidelity’s Global Macro Research Director Jurrien Timmer consider 2026 could be a ‘sluggish year’ for Bitcoin, with prices potentially falling to the $60,000–$65,000 range.
