Data Sources & Weighting

Each data point is synthesized into a single 0–100 meter. Currently, this index focuses on Bitcoin only.

Volatility 25%

We measure Bitcoin’s current volatility and maximum drawdowns, comparing them to 30-day and 90-day averages. Unusual spikes in volatility signal market fear.

Momentum & Volume 25%

We combine current trading volume and price momentum. High buying volume in a rising market indicates greed / excessive bullishness.

Social Media 15%

Twitter analysis tracks Bitcoin-related hashtags and interaction velocity. Surges in engagement reflect growing public interest — often interpreted as greedy behavior.

Dominance 10%

Bitcoin dominance share. Rising dominance suggests fear-driven flight to safety. Falling dominance suggests greed as investors chase riskier altcoins.

Trends 10%

Google Trends data for Bitcoin queries. We focus on search volume changes. Example: A spike in "bitcoin price manipulation" signals fear.

Surveys Paused

Previously conducted weekly polls to gauge investor sentiment. Currently paused, but previously accounted for 15% of the index.
