What the index measures
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index condenses several signals about the market into one number between 0 and 100. The index is compiled by Alternative.me from inputs such as price volatility, market momentum and volume, social signals and Bitcoin's share of the total market. We display the current value and the last 30 days exactly as published -- we do not adjust or recompute it.
How to read the zones
| Range | Zone | Rough interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| 0--24 | Extreme fear | Widespread pessimism. Historically sometimes coincided with market lows -- but fear can also be justified. |
| 25--44 | Fear | Caution dominates; buyers are hesitant. |
| 45--54 | Neutral | No strong emotional pull in either direction. |
| 55--75 | Greed | Optimism is building and money is flowing in. |
| 76--100 | Extreme greed | Euphoria. Historically sometimes preceded pullbacks -- but momentum can also continue. |

Frequently asked questions
How is the Fear and Greed Index calculated?
It is compiled by Alternative.me from several inputs -- price volatility, market momentum and volume, social signals and Bitcoin's share of the market. We display the published value and 30-day history exactly as released, without adjusting it.
Is a very high or very low reading a buy or sell signal?
No. The index is a contrarian-leaning mood gauge, not a trading signal. Markets can stay fearful or greedy far longer than seems reasonable, so treat it as one piece of context -- never as advice.
How often does the reading update?
Alternative.me publishes the index daily, and we refresh the value and the 30-day history shown here to match. The date of the reading is shown near the top of the page.
Does the index tell me anything about a specific coin?
No. It measures sentiment across the crypto market as a whole and says nothing about any individual asset.
