What is the Fear & Greed Index?

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index measures market sentiment on a scale from 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed). It aggregates volatility, market momentum/volume, social media sentiment, Bitcoin dominance, and Google Trends data.

How to Use It

Extreme Fear (0-25): Market is oversold — historically a good buying opportunity. Extreme Greed (76-100): Market may be overheated — consider taking profits or reducing exposure.
