What does the Fear and Greed Index mean in Crypto? (part 1/2)
The Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index is an indicator that gauges market sentiment, determining whether it is in a state of fear or greed. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 represents maximum greed.
It helps investors understand the state of the market and, potentially, identify times to buy or sell.
Here is how the index levels are interpreted:
šµ Extreme Fear (0ā25): When the index shows a high level of fear, it indicates pessimism among investors. At this level, traders tend to be risk averse, which can mean potentially advantageous purchase prices as assets may be undervalued.
šµ Fear (26ā49): Moderate fear indicates market caution. This may reflect uncertainty, and during these periods, cryptocurrency prices may remain low.
šµ Neutral (50): This indicates market equilibrium, where investors show neither fear nor marked greed. The market can move in any direction.
