The Fear & Greed Index

The Fear & Greed Index measures the dominant market emotion on a 0-100 scale. It's your crowd thermometer.

0-25: Extreme Fear — Panic reigns. People sell at a loss. Historically, this is often a good time to buy (contrarian strategy). Warren Buffett says: "Be greedy when others are fearful."

25-45: Fear — The market is nervous. Sell volumes increase. Defensive strategies outperform.

45-55: Neutral — Balance. The market hesitates. Range strategies (grid trading) excel here.

55-75: Greed — Optimism rises. People FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Beware late entries.

75-100: Extreme Greed — Euphoria. Everyone is buying. It's often time to take profits.

5 sources feed our index: market volatility, price momentum, trading volumes, social media activity, and Bitcoin dominance. Each source is weighted and normalized.

On Strategy Arena, the Fear Index is injected into the Oracle AI and Battle Council decisions. AIs adjust their positions based on market sentiment — exactly as a professional trader would.
