CNN’s Fear & Greed Index scores market sentiment from 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed). It blends seven inputs — price momentum, stock strength and breadth, put/call, VIX, safe-haven demand, and junk-bond demand — into one 0–100 score.
It is a crowded-sentiment gauge, not a crystal ball. Extreme fear often coincides with washes; extreme greed often coincides with complacency. Contrarians use the edges; trend followers still respect the middle.
There is no guaranteed buy signal, but many contrarians watch Extreme Fear (below ~25) as a dip-buying alert zone — when the crowd is panicked, washes historically cluster. Use an email alert at 25 (or lower) so you get notified when sentiment reaches that band, then decide with your own risk rules.
These are common levels traders set email alerts around — click the chart to place a line at any of them.
