The Crypto Fear & Greed Index analyzes emotions and sentiments from different sources and crunches them into one simple number. Updated daily.
"Be fearful when others are greedy, greedy when others are fearful." — Warren Buffett. Extreme readings often signal contrarian opportunities.
Extreme Fear (0-25) = potential buying opportunity. Historically, periods of extreme fear have preceded significant rallies. However, fear can persist for weeks — don't try to catch the exact bottom.
Extreme Greed (75-100) = caution zone. Markets can stay greedy longer than expected, but these levels often precede corrections. Consider taking partial profits or tightening stop-losses.
Don't use it in isolation. Combine the Fear & Greed Index with technical analysis, on-chain metrics, and your own research. It's one signal among many, not a standalone trading system.
