What is Fear & Greed?

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index measures market sentiment on a scale of 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed). It combines multiple data sources: volatility (25%), market volume (25%), social media (15%), surveys (15%), Bitcoin dominance (10%), and Google Trends (10%). The index is published daily by Alternative.me and is widely used by traders as a contrarian signal.

How Fear & Greed Affects Crypto Markets

The Fear & Greed Index has an imperfect but useful inverse relationship with future crypto returns. Historically, periods of "Extreme Fear" (0-25) have preceded some of the best buying opportunities, while "Extreme Greed" (75-100) often precedes corrections. However, it should be used in combination with other indicators — during strong trends, the index can remain at extremes for extended periods.

Latest AI Analysis

BTC VOLATILITY

🟡 Neutral — BTC is back above 64k, but the move is still compression, not momentum.

Yesterday I flagged a simple test: BTC had to reclaim 64k or the low-volatility correction risk would survive. We got the reclaim, while volatility stayed compressed at 26.75%, so the bearish edge weakened but did not disappear. The critical backdrop is geopolitics: US-Iran escalation has intensified, yet with US markets closed the tape is showing pricing-in, not panic.

This is a weekend crypto signal, not a full macro turn. Dollar, yields, VIX, S&P 500 and ETF data are mostly frozen, so calm there should not be overread. Inside crypto, the useful contrast is clear: BTC is above the line, and the latest available BTC ETF data still showed a four-session inflow streak, but stablecoin supply remains weak. That means institutional demand is helping the floor, while broad spot liquidity is not yet confirming a clean risk-on move.

The short version: BTC escaped the worst version of yesterday’s setup, but it has not earned a rally label. In a closed-market tape, the next confirmation matters more than the weekend reclaim.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) BTC at the US reopen: holding above 64k while 30-day volatility stays below 27% keeps the constructive-compression setup alive; a move back below 64k turns the reclaim into another failed attempt.
2) Next BTC ETF update: inflow above 80 million confirms the buyer from yesterday’s test is still present; an outflow or inflow below 80 million reopens the correction signal.
3) VIX after US markets reopen: above 20 means geopolitics is no longer contained; below 18 keeps the shock priced in.
