What is the Crypto Fear & Greed Index?
The Fear & Greed Index distills crypto market sentiment into a single number from 0 to 100. It blends signals such as volatility, market momentum and volume, social media, and Bitcoin dominance. A low score means investors are fearful — historically a zone where value appears — while a high score signals greed, where markets are often over-extended. Use it as a contrarian context layer, not a standalone trade signal. Data source: alternative.me, updated daily.
