COINOTAG News on August 21, citing Alternative Data, reports the Crypto Fear and Greed Index registered at 50, compared with 44 on the prior day, while the seven‑day average stands at 75. The dataset indicates market sentiment is moving toward neutrality amid the recent rebound.
The index is measured on a 0–100 scale and aggregates six weighted inputs: Volatility (25%), Market Volume (25%), Social Media Hype (15%), Market Surveys (15%), Bitcoin dominance (10%) and Google Trends (10%), offering a composite gauge of investor risk appetite across crypto markets.
Market participants should treat the index as a situational indicator rather than a standalone signal; continued monitoring of liquidity, on‑chain flows and Bitcoin dominance alongside macro drivers supports a more disciplined, risk‑adjusted approach to portfolio positioning.
