How to read the Fear & Greed Index
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index distils the market’s mood into a single number between 0 and 100. Low readings mean investors are fearful — often after prices have fallen — while high readings mean they are greedy, which tends to cluster around local tops. It is published daily by Alternative.me and blends several inputs: price volatility, market momentum and volume, social-media activity, Bitcoin’s share of the market, and search interest.
Contrarian investors treat it as a rough temperature check — the old maxim is to “be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” But it is a sentiment gauge, not a trading signal: it tells you how the crowd feels, not what the price will do next. Use it for context alongside your own research.
