VIX Remains Rangebound ....for nowThe VIX remains rangebound and in very good territory all things considering geopolitically and globally. No one can predict the future with 100% certainty but as long as there isn’t any earth-shattering news, fear will probably remain low, given the exception of U.S. election shenanigans coming up. Be aware here that my prediction is that at the last second (and really when it is far too late) they will pull Biden out of the race. Many will not be expecting this (though, I am astounded at how they will not) and it will cause massive volatility in our markets again before settling down. But we have all summer and into the fall before we begin to see some of this occur.

THE FEAR & GREED INDEX: GRADUALLY RISING.Fear & Greed Index:
The F&G Index has come up to a neutral state. This shows that people's sentiment toward the crypto market is changing. Currently, there is neither too much fear nor too much greed in the market meaning, there is a decisive move, where traders are not sure whether to go long or short. I shared about the F&G index a long time back when F&G was in the extreme fear zone and there I mentioned that the F&G index will eventually turn its indicator towards fear, neutral, greed, and then extreme greed. So far we have reached the neutral zone so it is good.
I hope this update was helpful for you all. Thank you for reading and trade safely.
Trading-Psychology: Fear & GreedFear & Greed
Trading psychology is different for each trader, and it is influenced by the trader’s emotions and biases. The two main emotions that are likely to impact the success or failure of a trade are greed or fear.
Greed is defined as the excessive desire for profits that could affect the rationality and judgment of a trader. A greed-inspired trade may involve buying stocks of untested companies because they are on the rise or buying shares of a company without understanding the underlying investment.
Greed can also make a trader stay in a position for too long in an attempt to squeeze every event out of the trade. It is common at the end of a bull market when traders attempt to take on risky and speculative positions to profit from the market movements.
On the other hand, fear is the opposite of greed and the reason why people exit a trade prematurely or refrain from taking on risky positions due to concerns of incurring losses. Fear makes investors act irrationally as they rush to exit the trade. It is common during bear markets, and it is characterized by significant selloffs from panic-selling.
Fear and greed play an important role in a trader’s overall strategy and understanding how to control the emotions is essential in becoming a successful trader.

THE FEAR & GREED INDEX: THE LOWEST LEVEL, SO FAR.Welcome traders to this Fear & Greed index.
The F&G Index has gone to the lowest level of 6 to date. This is the lowest in the history of cryptocurrency and this could get recorded only if the market bounces back from the current level. In my F&G updates, I have mentioned that we can possibly see the F&G reaching close to 1 as well but then what? Could it go zero or -1? There's no way that could happen.
The F&G Index won't stay at this level for long. Soon we will see the indicator moving from 4,5,6 to 12,20,30. This is the time of accumulation, my friend. This is not the time to give up or sell your bags. I am accumulating it one at a time. No rush, no harry. Just slow and steady.
What is your strategy? Are you accumulating too?
Like and follow if you agree with me.
Thank you.
