What the Crypto Fear and Greed Index is

A reading from 0 to 100 of how fearful or greedy investors are: 0 to 25 is extreme fear, 25 to 45 fear, 45 to 55 neutral, 55 to 75 greed and 75 to 100 extreme greed. It reads six measures of the crypto market (Bitcoin against its trend, where it stands in its year, how many of the biggest coins are rising, how wildly Bitcoin swings, how far it is below its recent high, and other coins against Bitcoin) each against its usual range, and averages them. It is our own index, worked out from market prices.

Extremes tend not to last: markets have often turned after extreme fear or extreme greed, but not always and not at once. It describes the mood; it is not a signal to buy or sell, and nothing here is investment advice.
