WHAT IS THE FEAR & GREED INDEX ?
The Fear & Greed Index (FGI) is a widely used indicator that helps measure the overall mood of the cryptocurrency market. It assigns a score between 0 and 100, showing whether investors are acting out of fear or driven by greed. Lower scores usually reflect cautious or fearful market sentiment, while higher scores indicate stronger optimism and increased buying interest.
To calculate this score, the index combines data from multiple market signals instead of relying on a single metric. These signals commonly include trading volume, price volatility, Bitcoin dominance, whale activity, search trends, and order book data. By evaluating these factors together, the index provides a broader picture of current market sentiment.
Some versions of the Fear & Greed Index also incorporate machine learning to analyze discussions across social media platforms and assess how public opinion and technical analysis trends may influence investor behavior. Each data source is assigned a different weight based on its historical relationship with market movements, allowing the index to generate a balanced sentiment score that traders and investors can use as one of many tools when making decisions.
