How is the Fear & Greed Index calculated?

The index blends several market signals - price volatility, trading volume and momentum, social media sentiment, Bitcoin's market dominance, and search trends - into one score from 0 to 100. Low scores (extreme fear) often coincide with sharp sell-offs, while high scores (extreme greed) often appear near market tops. It's a sentiment gauge, not a trading signal on its own; pair it with the Radar and Smart Money tools for a fuller picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good Fear & Greed Index score?

There is no universally "good" score. Extreme fear (0 to 24) often lines up with market bottoms and extreme greed (76 to 100) often lines up with market tops, but the index is a sentiment gauge, not a guaranteed signal.

How often does the index update?

The underlying data source publishes a new reading roughly once per day.

Does this apply to Bitcoin only or the whole market?

It reflects overall crypto market sentiment, blending Bitcoin dominance, volatility, volume, social sentiment and trends rather than a single coin.

Should I trade based on the Fear & Greed Index alone?

No. It works best as one input alongside price action, the Radar, and your own research, not as a standalone trading signal.
