Crypto Fear and Greed Index Signals Buying Opportunity

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index measures market sentiment on a scale of 0 to 100, with readings below 25 indicating extreme fear.

This is not a timing tool; extreme fear can persist for weeks or months before reversing.

The index can help investors avoid the classic mistake of buying during euphoria and selling during panic. Many crypto investors have two modes: 'This coin is going to zero' and 'I'm retiring next month.'
