Questions
What is iShares Russell 2000 ETF's Fear & Greed index today?
The score at the top of this page is IWM's live Fear & Greed reading, from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed), updated through the day. Unlike a single market-wide index, it's calculated from iShares Russell 2000 ETF's own price and volume, so it reflects the mood around this asset specifically. Check the gauge above for the current number and zone.
What is the iShares Russell 2000 ETF Fear & Greed index?
It's a 0-to-100 gauge of market sentiment for IWM, where low readings lean toward fear (the crowd is cautious, sometimes a sign of undervaluation) and high readings toward greed (optimism that can tip into overheating). It distils iShares Russell 2000 ETF's market conditions into a single, easy-to-read mood score.
Is this specific to iShares Russell 2000 ETF or the whole market?
It's specific to iShares Russell 2000 ETF. The score is computed from IWM's own candles, so two assets can sit in completely different zones at the same time. That's different from a single market-wide sentiment index — this reading reflects what's happening in iShares Russell 2000 ETF alone.
How is IWM's Fear & Greed score calculated?
It blends five factors from iShares Russell 2000 ETF's own market data into one weighted score: overbought and oversold momentum oscillators (the largest input), price momentum, trading volume and money flow, volatility, and market structure. They're combined and mapped to a sentiment zone from extreme fear to extreme greed.
Does extreme fear mean I should buy IWM?
Not on its own. Extreme fear can flag a possible reversal — the 'be greedy when others are fearful' idea — and extreme greed can warn of froth, but sentiment is just one input and can stay stretched for a while. Confirm with technical analysis and your own research before acting.
How often does the iShares Russell 2000 ETF score update, and can I set alerts?
iShares Russell 2000 ETF's sentiment is recomputed roughly every 15 minutes as fresh price and volume data comes in, so it tracks recent conditions rather than every tick. Create a free Flicker account and set alerts to be notified when iShares Russell 2000 ETF flips between fear and greed zones.
