Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index

A market sentiment indicator scored from 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed). It combines volatility, market momentum, social media sentiment, Bitcoin dominance, and Google Trends into a single daily number that reflects how investors are feeling about Bitcoin.

Historically, periods of extreme fear have often preceded price recoveries — following Warren Buffett's principle of being "greedy when others are fearful." However, the index is a sentiment tool, not a crystal ball. It doesn't predict price direction and shouldn't be your only reason to buy or sell.

Once per day. The index aggregates data from multiple sources and produces a new reading each day. The exact update time varies but typically occurs in the early hours UTC.

It's a useful directional signal, not a trading indicator. It captures crowd psychology well — extreme readings have historically aligned with market turning points. But it's backward-looking by design: it tells you how people feel now, not where price goes next.
