Did buying fear pay off?
Average BTC return over the 90 days following every historical day, grouped by the sentiment that day. This is what happened in the past — a description, not a strategy or a forecast.
Past performance says nothing about the future, sample sizes for the extreme bands are small, and these windows overlap. Treat it as a feel for the historical pattern, not a signal.
Why it matters
Sentiment is a contrarian tool more than a timing one. Extremes are the signal: widespread fear has often appeared near lows, and euphoria near tops. It's most useful read alongside price and the cycle position — not on its own.
