The greed index has climbed back to the high level it was at before that big liquidation wave back in October. Honestly, when I see data like this, my first reaction is also a jolt.
But last week, for my 76k DCA order, my hand was shaking when I placed it. Not because I was afraid—because the money in my account just happened to be enough. After buying, I had only a few cents left. Looking back now, buying during panic feels far more solid than buying during greed.
For people who do DCA, you don’t need to predict the temperature—you just have to show up. The thermometer is for those who want to bottom-tick or escape the top. I only look at the dates.
