Fear & Greed Index: 64, “Greed.” How does that number make you feel? Excited? Panicked?
Honestly, its biggest use is to make you look foolish. When people are greedy, it tells you to be careful; when they’re fearful, it urges you to be bold. And what happens? You’re afraid to buy when prices rise and afraid to get out when they fall—you get burned either way.
It’s not a crystal ball; it’s a health report. It only tells you what the market is like right now, not what will happen tomorrow. What’s the difference between placing a trade just because you saw 64 and choosing what to wear based only on your weight?
We need to understand that the index is just a reference point; your judgment is what really matters. Think about it: what happened the last time you let your emotions lead?
