Fear & Greed Index

Indicador compuesto del sentimiento cripto de 0 a 100.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates multiple market signals into a single number. Typical inputs include volatility (compared to 30/90-day averages), market momentum and volume, social media sentiment, surveys, Bitcoin dominance, and Google Trends data.

Extreme fear (0-25) often coincides with market bottoms as panic selling creates oversold conditions. Extreme greed (75-100) typically appears near market tops as euphoria drives overvaluation. The index is widely used as a contrarian indicator.

While useful as a quick sentiment snapshot, the index has limitations. It is primarily Bitcoin-focused and may not accurately reflect sentiment for altcoins or specific sectors. It also tends to be a lagging indicator, confirming what price action has already shown.
