Might this be a false bull indication?

The Fear and Greed Index has not crossed the zero line into positive (bull) territory since March of 2018 during the moderate rebound seen in the market following the crash. For over a year, it has stayed in negative (bear) territory.

We typically see the Fear and Greed Index stay in either positive or negative territory for long stretches at a time. Although, we can see there was a bit of oscillation in early 2018 after the extreme price drops occurred.

Given that this bull market is not associated with preceding extreme price movements, we can feel much more confident about this sustaining. However, we need to continue watching the Fear and Greed Index closely as it certainly may reverse in direction.
