Extreme Fear on Market – Bearish 2022 vs 2026 On February 23-24, 2026, the Fear & Greed Index is in extreme fear at 5 points – even lower than the 6-point reading on June 18, 2022, which marked one of the most brutal lows of the last bear market cycle. Yet despite printing a worse score, prices remain structurally far above the previous capitulation phase. From the 2022 extreme fear low: • $BTC is still +258% • $ETH +105% • $XRP +326% • $BNB +221% • $SOL +151% • $TRX +367% Even at 5 points today, the market sits well above the 6-point panic bottom of 2022. That said, extreme fear is not a guaranteed bottom signal. Liquidity conditions, macro environment, and broader risk sentiment still matter. We are in fear again — but the final capitulation may not be here yet. @TOP7ICO
