**Crypto Market Sentiment Hits New Highs**

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has soared to its highest level since July, maintaining a score above 60 for two days straight. On September 28, the index hit 64, signaling "Greed" as Bitcoin briefly touched $66,000, according to CoinMarketCap.

This index gauges market sentiment towards Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, with scores ranging from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). August saw an average rating of "Fear," hitting a low of 17 when Bitcoin was around $53,000.

Markus Thielen from 0x Research suggests a potential Q4 rally, driven by Bitcoin's return above $65,000, which could spark FOMO. Bitcoin has gained 11.18% in the past month, its best performance since March.

Charles Edwards of Capriole predicts significant capital inflows into Bitcoin from gold and stocks over the next six months. VanEck ranks Bitcoin as the top-performing asset this year, with a 124% surge, despite recent market jitters.
