Despite a slight correction,
the Fear and Greed Index is currently at 86, indicating that extreme greed continues to prevail in the market.
The Fear and Greed Index is a 0-100 scale designed to gauge market sentiment. It combines several indicators to provide a comprehensive view of market sentiment. These include volatility, which accounts for 25% of the index, and market trading volume, which also contributes 25%. Additionally, social media sentiment and market surveys each account for 15% of the index. Bitcoin’s market share contributes 10%, while Google search trends account for the remaining 10%.
The index is a valuable tool for investors and analysts, providing insight into the overall market sentiment. A high index value, such as 86 today, indicates that investors are showing extreme greed, which can often precede a market correction. Conversely, a low index value would indicate fear, which could signal a buying opportunity. Tracking these movements can help market participants make informed decisions based on overall market sentiment.
