What is the Fear & Greed Index?
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates and weights various market factors—volatility, momentum, social media trends, and more—to generate a single score from 0 to 100. This score represents the prevailing emotional state of the cryptocurrency market.
- Extreme Fear (0-24): Indicates widespread investor worry, potentially presenting a buying opportunity for contrarians.
- Fear (25-46): General concern is palpable in the market, leading to cautious behavior.
- Neutral (47-54): The market is balanced, not leaning strongly in either direction.
- Greed (55-74): Investors are becoming increasingly bullish, driving positive market momentum.
- Extreme Greed (75-100): Signifies investor euphoria, which could suggest the market is due for a correction.
As Warren Buffett famously advised, be "fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."
