This score shows that it is a little bit optimistic than that of the December 2018 to January 2019, when the crypto market capitalization was below one hundred and forty billion dollars ($140) and the volume of trading was around twenty billion dollars( $20) a day, respectively sixty and seventy percent less than today’s metric.

The spontaneous slide of Bitcoin from ten thousand nine hundred and fifty dollars ($10,950) to nine thousand and nine hundred dollars ($9,900).For instance 20 and 21 August took the index to a low level of five, the poorest sentiment recorded in its nineteen-month history.
