Crypto Fear and Greed Index

A market sentiment indicator that measures the emotional state of crypto investors — oscillating between fear (bearish) and greed (bullish).

Overview
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index aggregates multiple data sources such as volatility, volume, dominance, social media trends, and Google search results to quantify the emotional climate of the cryptocurrency market.
Values range from 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed). The metric helps identify when investors are too fearful (potential buying opportunities) or too greedy (potential profit-taking zones).
