How to use Market Fear & Greed Guide
1
Start with the headline score and label
Use the regime reading to frame risk appetite, not to predict exact short-term turning points.
2
Read the components next
Breadth, volatility, leadership, and participation explain why the score is where it is and whether the regime is durable.
3
Check the history panel
Recent movement in the score helps you tell whether tone is improving, deteriorating, or simply staying stretched.
4
Adjust your screener choice to the regime
Higher-greed phases can support momentum workflows, while weaker phases often call for tighter filters and more patience.
A strong reading is context, not permission to chase poor entries.
Rapid changes in component breadth can matter more than the headline number alone.
History helps you judge whether the regime is strengthening or fading.
Common mistakes to avoid
Treating the score as a one-number trading system.
Ignoring component detail when the headline looks attractive.
Assuming extreme readings must reverse immediately.
