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.

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.

7/ How to use it?

If Fear Index is low: 🟢 Might be a good time to buy.

If Greed Index is high: 🔴 Be careful, a dump could be coming.

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

4/ Greed 😈
