Bitcoin hits new highs as Trump’s pro-crypto win sparks investor optimism, fueling extreme greed and bullish trends across the crypto market.
The crypto market can be emotional, often reacting based on market conditions. When prices rise, it’s common for users to become greedy, leading to FOMO (fear of missing out). However, when prices drop, crypto users frequently sell their digital assets out of fear. A key metric for tracking investor sentiment, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, is currently showing “Extreme Greed.”
The latest reading at the time of writing places the index at 77, indicating heightened trading volume as investors accumulate more crypto with expectations of a market rise. The last time it reached a similar level was on October 31.

Trump’s Win Fuels Optimism in the Crypto Community
The bullish pattern in the market can be attributed to the emergence of Donald Trump as the new American President. He made several promises to the crypto industry and even vowed to make the country the crypto capital of the world, sparking wide support from the community.
His victory as the next US president and the winning of 250 pro-crypto congressional candidates indicate to investors that there might be less strict regulation regarding cryptocurrency and even more support for the industry. This belief could lead to more buying activity by the investors and possibly cause the prices of many coins to spike even more.
Sir Robert, a DeFi economist with more than 40,000 followers on X, mentioned that Trump’s victory as the 47th American president is a win for crypto and its industry.
With so much optimism and euphoria within the crypto community regarding the Trump presidency, we could see the market going more bullish in the coming days.
