Cryptocurrency markets are well-known for their wild swings and strong emotions. This is because these markets are still developing, like young teenagers finding their way in the world. Interestingly, these youthful markets offer both great opportunities to make money (driven by greed) and quick losses (fueled by fear) due to their unpredictable nature.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index serves as a tool to gauge whether this young market is being overly greedy or excessively fearful on any given day.
There are two basic ideas behind it:
- When people are extremely fearful, it might mean they're too worried, presenting a chance to buy.
- When investors become overly greedy, it's a signal that the market might be about to correct itself.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index relies on historical data from AlternativeMe.
