Crypto Fear & Greed Index
28/100
Fear
Market sentiment today, from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). Source: alternative.me
What does this mean?
The index measures the mood of the crypto market by combining signals like volatility, momentum, and trading volume into a single 0–100 score. It tells you how other people are feeling — not whether prices will go up or down.
Many investors read it as a contrariansignal: extreme fear can mean others are panic-selling and assets are “on sale,” while extreme greed can be a sign the market is overheated. A low score isn't a reason to panic, and a high score isn't a green light. It's one input for context — never a buy or sell instruction, and never a substitute for your own research.

Our latest explainers
All guides →Bitcoin Dominance and Market Structure
Zoom out from a single coin to the whole market. Bitcoin dominance, total market cap, and how capital rotates between BTC, large caps, and altcoins are the big-picture lenses analysts use to read the cycle.
On-Chain Signals for Bitcoin Accumulation
The on-chain metrics long-term accumulators watch to gauge where the cycle sits — MVRV, realized price, long-term holder supply, and exchange flows — and, just as important, how not to misuse them.
Self-Custody at Scale: Multisig, Passphrases, and Inheritance
A single hardware wallet is a single point of failure. Once your holdings are meaningful, multisig, passphrases, and an inheritance plan remove single points of failure — at the cost of new complexity you must manage carefully.
