The Fear & Greed Index blends seven signals - momentum, put/call ratios, volatility, safe-haven demand and more - into one 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed) reading for US stocks.
It is contrarian fuel, not a timer: extremes persist for weeks. Pair it with breadth and valuations before acting.
Example
Readings under 20 have historically clustered near tradable bottoms; above 80, rallies keep working until breadth breaks - sentiment confirms, positioning decides.
