The Market Mood Index compresses volatility, momentum and demand signals for Indian equities into a single live number. Under ~30 reads fear, above ~70 greed.
Like all sentiment tools it works best against the crowd: fear zones favour staggered buying quality, greed zones favour booking profits and tightening stops.
Example
MMI under 20 during FII-selling panics has repeatedly marked zones where SIPs and staggered large-cap buys compounded well.
