How the Index Is Calculated
The crypto Fear & Greed Index (published by alternative.me) combines several market signals into one 0–100 score: price volatility (~25%), market momentum & volume (~25%), social-media sentiment (~15%), surveys (~15%, historically), Bitcoin dominance (~10%) and search trends (~10%). Unusually high volatility and falling momentum push the score toward fear; strong momentum and rising volume push it toward greed. Criptano re-reads the published index daily and shows it with its source date.

How is the Fear & Greed Index calculated?
The widely-cited crypto index (from alternative.me) weights several inputs: price volatility (~25%), market momentum and volume (~25%), social-media sentiment (~15%), surveys (~15%, historically), Bitcoin dominance (~10%) and Google search trends (~10%). The components are normalised and combined into a single 0–100 value, updated daily.
Is extreme greed a sell signal (or extreme fear a buy signal)?
Many investors treat the index as a contrarian indicator — being cautious when others are greedy and looking for value when others are fearful. But the index only describes current sentiment; it does not predict prices, and markets can stay fearful or greedy far longer than expected. Do your own research — this is not financial advice.
