Google "Crypto" Search Interest Nears One-Year Low, Market Sentiment Continues to Weaken

Odaily News Google Trends data shows that the global search interest for the keyword "crypto" is hovering near a one-year low, reflecting a continued weakening of investor sentiment against the backdrop of a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market. The current global search interest index is approximately 30, significantly lower than the 100 recorded during the market capitalization peak in August 2025, with the lowest point in the past 12 months being 24.

Search trends in the United States show a similar pattern, with interest declining from its peak last July and dropping below 37 in January, reaching a yearly low of 32. Concurrently, the overall trading volume in the crypto market has also seen a notable decline, falling from a high of over $153 billion in mid-January to the current level of around $87.5 billion.

The report notes that search interest is often viewed as an indicator of investor sentiment, aligning with the trends of other sentiment tools like the Crypto Fear & Greed Index. Data shows that this index recently fell into a historically low range, indicating the market is in a state of "extreme fear." (Cointelegraph)
