Factors Considered in the Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index
The Fear and Greed Index analyzes five different factors to measure cryptocurrency market sentiment:
1. Price Momentum
Analyzing the performance of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization (excluding stablecoins). This provides an overall perspective on market sentiment in relation to current prices.
2. Volatility
Volatility forecasts the price fluctuations of Bitcoin and Ethereum using the Volmex Implied Volatility Index (BVIV and EVIV). These indices indicate the expected 30-day volatility range for BTC and ETH. Higher volatility suggests more fear in the market, while lower volatility indicates more greed.
3. Derivatives Market
This factor analyzes traders' perspectives on Bitcoin by measuring the ratio of put options to call options. The ratio compares the number of put options (predicting BTC will fall) to call options (predicting BTC will rise). A higher put-to-call ratio indicates more fear in the market, suggesting that traders expect BTC to decline.
4. Market Composition
Market composition analysis evaluates Bitcoin's dominance in the crypto market using the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR)。This ratio compares Bitcoin’s market capitalization with the total market capitalization of major stablecoins。A lower SSR indicates a higher supply of stablecoins relative to Bitcoin, while a higher SSR suggests a greater dominance of Bitcoin over stablecoins。This indicator reflects whether market participants prefer holding BTC or USD and indicates the extent of market bets on BTC.
How to Calculate and Use the Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index?
The cryptocurrency market is heavily driven by emotions. Market upswings often lead to greed, which in turn triggers FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Conversely, during market downturns, bleak data can spark irrational sell-offs. The goal of the Fear and Greed Index is to help you avoid these emotionally driven overreactions.
Based on two simple assumptions:
Extreme fear may indicate that investors are too worried, potentially presenting a buying opportunity.
Excessive greed often signals that the market is due for a correction.
This index reflects the level of fear or greed in the crypto market at any given time, on a scale from 0 to 100.
