How the Index Is Calculated
The crypto Fear & Greed Index (published by alternative.me) combines several market signals into one 0–100 score: price volatility (~25%), market momentum & volume (~25%), social-media sentiment (~15%), surveys (~15%, historically), Bitcoin dominance (~10%) and search trends (~10%). Unusually high volatility and falling momentum push the score toward fear; strong momentum and rising volume push it toward greed. TLT re-reads the published index daily and shows it with its source date.
