Market sentiment, 0–100 · updated 17:01:16 UTC
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index compresses market sentiment into a single number between 0 and 100. Low readings mean investors are fearful — selling pressure, falling prices, nervous headlines. High readings mean greed: buying frenzies, parabolic charts, and the feeling that everyone is getting rich but you.
The score blends several inputs: price volatility, market momentum and volume, social media activity, Bitcoin’s share of total market capitalization, and Google search trends. It is published once a day, so the number moves in daily steps rather than tick by tick.
The index is a contrarian tool by design. As the saying goes, be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful — extreme fear has historically marked points where assets were oversold, and extreme greed points where a correction was due. It is a sentiment gauge, not a signal: it says how the crowd feels today, not what prices will do tomorrow.
