How to interpret index Fear & Greed

Use the score to identify fearful, neutral, or greedy regimes, then inspect its components and any disagreement with the underlying conversation.

A 0–100 emotional regime

Lower readings indicate fear, higher readings indicate greed, and the middle of the scale reflects a more balanced market regime.

More than conversation tone

The index-specific reading combines social evidence with market behaviour rather than relabelling sentiment as Fear & Greed.

Divergence can be informative

Improving conversation during a fearful regime—or weakening tone during greed—can reveal a shift hidden by the headline score.

Breadth changes the meaning

Compare index-level tone with constituent breadth and sector leadership to see whether the mood is broad or concentrated.
