CNN Fear and Greed Index

The CNN Fear and Greed Index measures the overall mood of investors in the stock market. It uses seven indicators, such as market volatility, trading volume, and momentum, to determine if investors are feeling overly fearful (worried, panicked) or greedy (confident, risk-taking). A high fear score suggests caution, while a high greed score indicates optimism and potential overconfidence. This index helps investors understand market sentiment and potential turning points, providing insight into whether the market may be due for a correction or a rally.
