About this tool
The Fear & Greed Index measures market sentiment for Bitcoin on a scale from 0 to 100. A low value means extreme fear — investors are worried and selling. A high value means extreme greed — investors are excited and buying aggressively. The index is calculated from volatility, market momentum and volume, social media, surveys, Bitcoin dominance and Google Trends.
Many traders use it as a contrarian signal: extreme fear can be a time when others are selling in panic, and extreme greed can be a time when the market is overheated. It is a sentiment measure, not a price prediction, and it should never be used on its own to make trading decisions.
Formula
Scale: 0–24 Extreme Fear, 25–44 Fear, 45–55 Neutral, 56–74 Greed, 75–100 Extreme Greed.
