What is the Fear & Greed Index?
The Fear & Greed Index summarizes the market's emotional state on a 0–100 scale. It combines volatility, momentum, volume, social sentiment, and other signals into one number. Extreme fear (below 25) often precedes a reversal up; extreme greed (above 75) often precedes a pullback. It's a contrarian timing tool, not a trade signal on its own.

How to Read the Score
Maximum panic. Historically a buying zone, though prices can stay here longer than expected.
Sellers in control. Sentiment is cautious, but not yet capitulating.
Indecision. Wait for confirmation in either direction before sizing up.
Buyers stepping in. Trend continuation is likely, but late-comers are getting filled.
Maximum euphoria. Historically a topping zone — consider trimming or tightening stops.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often is the index updated?
Scores are recalculated continuously as new market data arrives, typically several times per minute for the most liquid assets.
How is this different from CNN's Fear & Greed Index?
CNN's index covers US equities. Flicker's index is purpose-built for crypto, weighting metrics like funding rates, perpetual basis, and on-chain signals that don't exist in traditional markets.
What data goes into the score?
Price volatility, momentum across multiple timeframes, volume vs. recent average, perpetual funding rates, social sentiment, and dominance trends. We tune the weights per asset class — Bitcoin's index is not the same as a meme coin's.
How should I use it in trading?
Treat it as a contrarian filter, not a trigger. Combine extreme readings with your own technical setup — a buy signal in the extreme-fear zone is far more reliable than the same signal in greed territory.
Can I get alerts when sentiment flips?
Yes — Flicker can notify you the moment any coin enters extreme fear or extreme greed. Set up a free alert in the app.
