2/ What is the Fear & Greed Index?
Imagine you're at a playground. If everyone is scared of the slide, no one plays on it (prices drop). If everyone wants to slide at once, there's a long line (prices pump)!

3/ Fear 😨
When people are afraid, they sell their crypto fast—like running away from a scary monster. This makes prices fall. Low prices = Good deals for brave buyers.

4/ Greed 😈
When people are greedy, they rush to buy as if it's candy on sale! Prices shoot up because everyone wants in. But buying too late? You might end up holding the bag

5/ The Index Scale 🏆

0 = Extreme Fear 😱 (People are scared, prices are low)

100 = Extreme Greed 🚀 (Everyone is FOMO’ing in, prices are high)

Smart traders know: Buy when others are scared, sell when they’re greedy.

8/ Final tip: Don’t trade on emotions!
Markets go up and down, but patience wins. Learn to spot opportunities when others panic. 🚀

9/ Now that you know, check the Fear & Greed Index before your next trade!

7/ How to use it?
