Drawing support, resistance, checking RSI, MACD, volume... it’s all a bit much, right? What if I told you the “Fear & Greed Index” alone could help you make better trades—faster? Here’s how.
Not saying those indicators are wrong, but let’s be honest: for many traders, they’re confusing and time-consuming. If you’re someone who just wants to buy low, sell high, and take profit in a few days—this might be all you need.
The Fear & Greed Index tracks overall crypto market sentiment on a scale from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). Historically, extreme fear (under 30) has marked major accumulation zones, and extreme greed (over 70) has often preceded corrections. For example, in June 2022, the index dropped to 10—Bitcoin was ~$17K. Within six months, it rallied over 70%. On the flip side, when the index hit 95 in November 2021, $BTC was near its all-time high—then fell 75% over the following year.
Now here’s the simple strategy:
If you’re eyeing a coin that’s already pumped, wait for a correction. Once price cools down, check the Fear & Greed Index:
• If it’s below 40 (or even better, under 30) — buy.
• If it’s above 70 — take profit or avoid entering.
• If it’s between 45–55, wait. Sideways sentiment means your signal is likely just a few days away.
Simple. Data-backed. Emotion-proof.
Sometimes, the best indicator is human behavior—quantified.
