Crypto Fear & Greed Index
The Fear & Greed Index measures crypto market sentiment from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). At ABYSS we read it contrarian: when everyone is fearful there's often opportunity, and when everyone is greedy, risk.
Extreme fear: historically one of the best buying contexts (when everyone is selling).
History (past year)
How to use it
Sentiment is noisy: it's not a buy/sell signal on its own. It works best alongside the cycle indicators (where price sits vs its history) and cycle risk. Treat it as one layer, not the verdict.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Fear & Greed Index?
A crypto market sentiment gauge from 0 to 100: near 0 fear dominates, near 100 greed. It combines volatility, momentum, social media and other signals.
Is extreme fear a buy signal?
Contrarian, extreme fear has often coincided with local bottoms, but it's NOT a guarantee or a standalone signal. Use it alongside cycle risk and on-chain indicators. Not financial advice.
Where does the data come from?
