A daily 0–100 gauge of crypto market sentiment — from extreme fear to extreme greed.
Crypto markets are famously emotional. When prices fall, fear spreads and many investors sell below fair value; when prices climb, greed takes over and buyers chase the rally. The Fear & Greed Index condenses that crowd mood into one daily number, built from market signals such as volatility, momentum, volume, Bitcoin dominance and social-media chatter.
A common way to use it: treat extremes as a prompt to slow down and re-check your plan rather than as a trading signal in itself. Pair the sentiment reading with real prices — the CoinZap converter and the live market table — before making any move.
It is a daily score from 0 to 100 that summarizes the overall mood of the crypto market. Low values mean fear (investors are cautious or selling), high values mean greed (investors are euphoric and buying aggressively).
Today the index reads 19 out of 100, classified as “Extreme Fear”. Readings below 25 signal extreme fear, 25–45 fear, 46–54 neutral, 55–75 greed, and above 75 extreme greed.
The index blends several market signals — including price volatility, trading volume and momentum, Bitcoin's share of the market, and social-media activity — into a single 0–100 score, updated daily.
Many traders treat the index as a contrarian hint: extreme fear can mark moments when assets are oversold, while extreme greed can warn that a correction is closer. It is a sentiment snapshot, not a prediction — never trade on it alone.
