The Eurozone's Sentix investor confidence index for January came in at -1.8, a notable surprise beat against expectations of -5.0 and a sharp recovery from December's -6.2 reading. This swing reflects a tangible shift in sentiment as markets reassess economic conditions heading into Q1. While still in negative territory, the improvement signals that investor pessimism may be easing—a factor worth tracking alongside traditional macro data. For those monitoring macro-to-crypto correlations, such sentiment improvements often precede broader risk-on periods across digital assets.
