How to read it

The meter describes the market's mood, not where it goes next. Extreme Greed means the market is calm and rising, which is when people tend to take more risk. Extreme Fear means it is nervous and falling. Both can last for weeks. Use it as a sentiment check alongside our daily reports, never as a signal to trade.
