Frequently Asked Questions

  
What is the Fear and Greed Index?
The Fear and Greed Index is a composite sentiment gauge, usually scaled from 0 to 100, that summarizes whether investors are acting out of fear or greed. Low readings indicate extreme fear and high readings indicate extreme greed.

  
How should I use it?
It is most often used as a contrarian signal. Extreme fear can mark moments when assets are oversold and opportunities appear, while extreme greed can warn that the market is overheated and due for caution. It reflects current mood rather than fundamentals.

  
Is the index predictive?
It is a sentiment indicator, not a precise timing tool. Sentiment can stay extreme for a long time, so the index is best used alongside valuation and fundamentals rather than as a standalone buy or sell trigger.

  
Is the Fear and Greed Index updated in real time?
It shows the current sentiment reading and refreshes through the trading day from live market data — momentum, volatility, safe-haven demand and more — so it reflects today's market mood rather than a static snapshot.
