What is it?
The Fear & Greed Index condenses several market signals into a single number between 0 and 100. It was pioneered for crypto markets by Alternative.me and has become one of the most-watched sentiment gauges in the industry.
How is it calculated?
Six factors are weighted: volatility (25%), market momentum & volume (25%), social media sentiment (15%), surveys (15%), Bitcoin dominance (10%), and Google Trends data (10%). Each is compared against recent history.
Extreme Fear
When the index is very low, the market is panicking. Historically this has often presented buying opportunities for long-term investors who are comfortable with volatility — though it is not investment advice.
Extreme Greed
When the index is very high, investors are becoming greedy and the market may be due for a correction. As Warren Buffett famously said: "be fearful when others are greedy." The same logic applies to crypto.
