The Fear and Greed Index in the crypto market is a sentiment analysis tool designed to gauge the emotional state of traders and investors. It helps indicate whether the market is undervalued (fearful) or overvalued (greedy) based on various factors.

🧠 Purpose:

  • Fear can signal buying opportunities, as many traders are panic-selling.

  • Greed may suggest the market is overheating, and a correction could be near.

📊 Components of the Index:

The index typically ranges from 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed). It's based on factors like:

  1. Volatility (25%) – Measures sudden drops in price; higher volatility = more fear.

  2. Market Momentum/Volume (25%) – High buying volume in uptrends = greed.

  3. Social Media Sentiment (15%) – Analyzes mentions, hashtags, and engagement.

  4. Surveys (15%) – Polls asking people how they feel about the market.

  5. Dominance (10%) – BTC dominance rising suggests fear (people fleeing altcoins).

  6. Google Trends (10%) – Searches like “Bitcoin crash” indicate fear.

🔢 Example:

  • Index = 20 → Extreme Fear → Investors are worried, possibly oversold market.

  • Index = 80 → Extreme Greed → Euphoria is high, possible market top.

🛠️ Use Case:

  • Time entries and exits (e.g., "buy when there's blood in the streets").

  • Avoid emotional decisions.

  • Confirm other technical or fundamental analyses.
