What is the Stock Market Fear & Greed Index?
The Stock Market Fear & Greed Index measures investor emotion stock by stock on a 0–100 scale. Instead of publishing one number for the whole market, Flicker scores each stock from its own price volatility, momentum, volume, and market structure. Extreme fear often marks capitulation and potential value; extreme greed often marks overheated buying. Treat it as 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 is this different from CNN's Fear & Greed Index?
CNN publishes a single number for the entire US market. Flicker scores every stock individually, so you can see which names are in panic while others run hot — a per-stock view a market-wide index can't give you.
What data goes into a stock's score?
Price volatility, momentum, volume versus its recent average, market structure, and how overbought or oversold the stock is. It's the same 0–100 engine and the same weights that power Flicker's crypto index.
How often are stock scores updated?
Every 15 minutes. Outside regular trading hours prices barely move, so scores stay close to their last reading until the next session opens.
How should I use it when trading stocks?
As a contrarian filter, not a trigger. An extreme-fear reading on a fundamentally sound stock is a prompt to look closer, not to buy blindly — combine it with your own analysis of the company and the broader market.
Can I get alerts when a stock's sentiment flips?
Yes — Flicker can notify you the moment a stock enters extreme fear or extreme greed. Set up a free alert in the app.
