The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is a tool that measures the overall sentiment of the cryptocurrency market on a scale of 0 to 100. A score of 0 means "Extreme Fear" while a score of 100 means "Extreme Greed."
The famous investor Warren Buffett once said: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." The Fear & Greed Index helps crypto investors apply this philosophy to the market.
The index is calculated using several factors including market volatility, trading volume, social media sentiment, Bitcoin dominance, and Google Trends data. Each factor is weighted to produce the final score.
When the index shows Extreme Fear (below 25), it may be a good time to consider buying — historically these have been great entry points. When it shows Extreme Greed (above 75), it may be wise to be cautious as the market could be overheated.
