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 the market has often been undervalued, and when everyone is greedy, overvalued.
Fear: an accumulation context rather than euphoria.

How to use it
Sentiment is noisy: on its own it isn't conclusive. 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 inputs.
Does extreme fear mark market bottoms?
In contrarian terms, extreme fear has often coincided with local bottoms, but it's NOT a guarantee or a standalone read. Use it alongside cycle risk and on-chain indicators. Not financial advice.
Where does the data come from?
From alternative.me's Fear & Greed Index (free to use with attribution). ABYSS's own indices (Score, Risk, Altseason, on-chain) are computed by us.
