Crypto Fear and Greed Index: A Daily Sentiment Score for Market Emotion

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index is a daily sentiment score that measures market emotion on a scale from 0 to 100. It's built from a mix of price swings, trading volume, social media buzz, and survey data.

A reading near 0 means extreme panic, while a reading near 100 means extreme greed. The index typically sits around 45-55, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The score is not a precise timing tool, but it can signal potential buying or selling opportunities when combined with price trend and volume analysis.

In the past, the index has shown that fear dominates market readings, with over 62% of days since 2018 having low scores. A single low reading is not a guaranteed entry signal, and a high reading does not guarantee an exit signal.
