The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is an indicator from Alternative.me that aims at capturing investor sentiment in a single number by incorporating data from multiple sources. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 denotes "extreme fear", and therefore times of exaggerated negative investor sentiment. On the other hand, 100 means "extreme greed" and and is an indication for maximum FOMO. For a detailed explanation and description of the metrics please refer to the original source at alternative.me.
This is the Point-in-Time (PiT) variant of Fear & Greed Index. PiT metrics are strictly append-only and their history is immutable. The historic data does not necessarily reflect the best current knowledge, but the information at the time when a data point was first computed. PiT metrics are ideal candidates for applications in model backtesting and related quantitative purposes. Read our article on PiT metrics for more information.
