Sentiment is the market’s mood \u2014 how fearful or greedy participants are \u2014 and it often drives short-term price swings as much as fundamentals do.<\/p>\n

The Fear & Greed Index<\/h2>\n

One popular gauge is the Fear & Greed Index, a 0-100 score compiled by alternative.me from signals like volatility, momentum, and volume. Extreme fear can coincide with capitulation lows; extreme greed can mark froth. It is a thermometer, not a timing tool. We show it in our header and at \/sentiment\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sentiment versus technicals<\/h2>\n

Technical analysis studies price and volume patterns; sentiment studies emotion. Both are inputs, not answers. Contrarians watch sentiment extremes precisely because the crowd is often most confident at turning points.<\/p>\n

Use it carefully<\/h2>\n

No single indicator predicts the market. Sentiment is best used to check your own emotions \u2014 are you buying out of greed or selling out of fear? \u2014 rather than as a signal to act. None of this is advice.<\/p>\n
