How to read the Fear Index
The score is a market-temperature check built from price trend, short-term returns, drawdown, volatility, volume pressure, RSI-style sentiment and risk references. It is designed to help investors slow down and compare market mood, not to predict the next trade.
Stress is high. Do not assume an automatic rebound; check trend, volatility and news context together.
Caution dominates. Compare the score with price location and recent changes before forming an opinion.
Market mood is balanced. Extra confirmation is more important than the number itself.
Risk appetite is stronger. Watch for overheating and avoid treating momentum as a guarantee.
