The Crypto Fear and Greed Index condenses market sentiment into a score from 0 to 100. Lower readings indicate fear, while higher readings indicate greed. At the extremes, the index can help show when traders are becoming unusually defensive or unusually optimistic. The current Fear and Greed Index is shown above together with its 1-day, 7-day, 30-day and 90-day changes, making it easier to see whether sentiment is strengthening, weakening or simply holding at the same level.
The same market sentiment indicator is also commonly searched as the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index or BTC Fear and Greed Index. Bitcoin is often the main reference point for crypto market sentiment, so shifts in BTC price action and positioning can coincide with large changes in the index. On this page, the indicator is presented in the broader context of crypto markets rather than as a standalone Bitcoin trading signal. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index today should therefore be treated as a sentiment gauge, not as a prediction of where Bitcoin or the wider market will move next.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index chart adds historical context to the latest reading. A single move into fear or greed can be temporary, while a sustained trend over several weeks can say more about the market regime.

Looking at the direction of the index alongside the absolute level is often more useful than judging one daily value in isolation.
