Extreme Fear indicates that traders are highly risk‑averse. Historically, this can signal potential buying opportunities — but it also reflects uncertainty and volatility.

Extreme Greed suggests traders are aggressively buying. Markets may be overheated, and corrections become more likely during these periods.

The index isn’t a crystal ball — but it’s a powerful sentiment indicator. Many traders use it alongside technical and fundamental analysis to gauge market psychology.
