Extreme greed

alternative.me builds the index from volatility, market momentum and volume, social media, Bitcoin dominance and search trends. It's mostly about Bitcoin. Some traders read extreme fear as a possible buying opportunity and extreme greed as a warning, but it's a mood ring, not a timing tool. Source: alternative.me Fear & Greed Index ↗.
