DEXTAPE GUIDES
What Fear & Greed is (and is not)
alternative.me publishes an index. Dextape reprints it with a stamp. It is not our forecast.
The Fear & Greed meter on the homepage and in Terminal comes from alternative.me. Their methodology mixes volatility, volume, social, dominance, and trends. Dextape does not recompute it, smooth it, or invert it into a trade.
- A reading of 20 is their label, Extreme Fear, on that timestamp — not a buy alarm.
- A high reading describes the provider’s sentiment classification at that time. It does not establish where the market will move next.
- If the feed is down, we show the failure. We will not freeze yesterday’s number without calling it stale.
