Fear & Greed Index

0-100 indicator synthesizing crypto market sentiment.

Fear & Greed: 5 components (volatility, momentum, social, BTC dominance, search trends). 0-25 extreme fear (historically best buys), 75-100 extreme greed (caution). 'Buy when others fear, sell when greedy.'

In plain words

0-100 scale combining several sentiment metrics: volatility, volume, social media, BTC dominance. 0 = extreme fear (panic selling), 100 = extreme greed. Best returns come from going against the crowd: buy near 10, sell near 90.
