Indicator Notes | $BTC | Fear & Greed Index 29 | Fear | Down 3 from yesterday
Definition: Volatility and momentum carry the greatest weight; a sudden increase in volatility is counted as a fear component.
How to read it: A common approach is to use it as a contrarian reference: during extreme fear, watch for potential oversold conditions; during extreme greed, beware of overheating. But this is just one way of thinking about it, not a buy or sell signal.
Extreme readings often mean larger price swings. At such times, it’s better to reduce leverage rather than increase exposure.
