What is the Fear & Greed Index?
It is a 0-100 thermometer of Bitcoin market sentiment published daily by alternative.me: 0 is extreme fear (panic) and 100 is extreme greed (euphoria). It aggregates volatility, volume, social media activity and Bitcoin dominance into a single number.
How to read it
- 0-24 — Extreme fear: panic dominates. Historically, a zone of opportunity for patient accumulators (contrarian signal).
- 25-44 — Fear: pessimism without panic.
- 45-55 — Neutral: no clear signal.
- 56-75 — Greed: growing optimism.
- 76-100 — Extreme greed: euphoria. Historically associated with cycle tops.
How we use it
This index is one of the indicators feeding the NodeWitness cycle Score — read contrarian: extreme fear pushes towards accumulation, extreme greed towards distribution. It is never used alone: it is combined with on-chain valuation and network metrics.
