    Fear & Greed Index: Cryptocurrency Investor Sentiment

    June 22, 2023No Comments2 Mins Read

    The Fear and Greed Index is a tool used by investors and traders to measure the sentiment of the cryptocurrency market. It provides an easy-to-understand overview of the current state of the Bitcoin/crypto market, with a score ranging from 0 to 100. A score of 0 indicates extreme fear, while a score of 100 indicates extreme greed.

    Latest Crypto Fear & Greed Index

    The Fear and Greed Index is based on several factors, including volatility, social media sentiments, surveys, market momentum, and more. These factors are combined to create an overall index that reflects investor sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. The index can be used as an indicator for making more informed decisions when trading in crypto or DeFi tokens.

    Key Metrics

    • Volatility (25%)
    • Market Momentum and Volume (25%)
    • Social Media (15%)
    • Surveys (15%) – currently stopped
    • Dominance (10%)
    • Trends (10%)

    When the Fear and Greed Index is low (below 30), it indicates that investors are feeling fearful about the future of cryptocurrencies. This could be due to recent news or events that have caused uncertainty in the market. On the other hand, when the index is high (above 70), it suggests that investors are feeling greedy and optimistic about their investments in cryptocurrencies.

    It’s important to note that while the Fear and Greed Index can provide insight into investor sentiment, it should not be relied upon exclusively when making decisions about trading or investing in cryptocurrencies. Other factors such as news events and technical analysis should also be taken into consideration when making decisions about cryptocurrency investments.

    The History

    The Fear & Greed Index was at first introduced by CNNMoney for use in the stock market. They used 7 market indicators to provide an explanation of sentiment awarding them all with equal values.

    Later Gregor Krambs and Victor Tobis, two web developers, adapted CNN’s idea for the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. Bitcoin (BTC) was initially used as the main indicator for the rest of the crypto market.
