Crypto Fear and Greed Index

What the index measures

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index distills overall market sentiment into a single number from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). It blends signals such as volatility, market momentum, social media activity and trading volume into one easy-to-read gauge.

How to read it

Extreme fear can indicate that investors are overly worried, which some view as a sign of caution in the market. Extreme greed can suggest the market is running hot and may be due for a pullback. Like every indicator, it describes current sentiment — it does not predict what prices will do next.
