What is this tool?

This Fear & Greed index is a 0-100 composite computed live from data PEPS already collects — no third-party index.

News sentiment (35%): every article from the last 24h scores 100 if bullish, 50 if neutral, 0 if bearish, weighted by its importance, then averaged.

Smart-money flows (40%): large whale transfers to/from exchanges; net accumulation (outflows) is greedy, net distribution (inflows) is fearful. Stablecoins are excluded.

How to read the results

Smart-money flows (40%): large whale transfers to/from exchanges; net accumulation (outflows) is greedy, net distribution (inflows) is fearful. Stablecoins are excluded.

Market volatility (25%): the average market-move score of recent news — calm tape leans greedy, a turbulent one leans fearful.

The "24h ago" reading uses the same recipe on the prior day, so the delta shows whether the market is turning more greedy or more fearful.

Key signals and metrics

Market volatility (25%): the average market-move score of recent news — calm tape leans greedy, a turbulent one leans fearful.

Advanced usage and combinations

It is a sentiment gauge, not a trade signal — extreme readings often mark contrarian turning points rather than confirmations.

Each factor is shown separately so you can see what is driving the score; one strong factor can offset two weak ones because of the weighting.

When few large transfers or little news exist, the underlying factors are noisier and the index reverts toward neutral.

Frequently asked questions

How reliable are the signals from this tool?
Treat every reading as a hypothesis. Strong setups usually agree across multiple rows, timeframes or linked PEPS engines — not from a single highlighted value 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.
