What is this tool?
Market Stress Index (MSI) aggregates PEPS derivatives, sentiment and event feeds into one 0–100 stress gauge. Higher = more systemic pressure and tail-risk conditions.
The dial shows the current composite score and regime (Calm → Extreme).
Five weighted components break down where stress is coming from — funding and leverage often lead during overheated derivatives markets.
How to read the results

The 24h delta compares to the prior snapshot — rising MSI suggests deteriorating conditions.
The history sparkline tracks MSI over recent collection runs (every 15 minutes).
MSI is complementary to Fear & Greed — stress focuses on structural risk, not crowd sentiment alone.

- Is this tool suitable for beginners?
- Yes. Start with one symbol or one ranked row, read the labels and confirmation panels, then open linked tools before sizing a live position.
- How often is the data updated?
- Refresh cadence depends on the engine — many trading scanners update every few minutes; on-chain and mining feeds may run on hourly timers. Check the Updated timestamp on the tool page.
