What is the Crypto Fear and Greed Index?
It is a daily sentiment score for Bitcoin and the wider crypto market. It blends price volatility, momentum and trading volume, social media activity, Bitcoin dominance and search trends into a single value between 0 and 100.
How to read it
Low values mean investors are fearful — often after sharp drops. High values mean greed — often after strong rallies. Many traders read extremes as contrarian signals: extreme fear can be a buying opportunity and extreme greed a warning that the market is overheated. It is a mood gauge, not financial advice.
