Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Kenyan Shilling's Fear & Greed Index today?

  The score at the top of this page is KES's live Fear & Greed reading, from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed), updated through the day.

Check the gauge above for the current number and zone.

• What is the Kenyan Shilling Fear & Greed Index?

  It's a 0-to-100 gauge of market sentiment for KES, where low readings lean toward fear (the crowd is cautious, sometimes a sign of undervaluation) and high readings toward greed (optimism that can tip into overheating). It distils Kenyan Shilling's market conditions into a single, easy-to-read mood score.

• Is this specific to Kenyan Shilling or the whole market?

  It's specific to Kenyan Shilling. The score is computed from KES's own candles, so two assets can sit in completely different zones at the same time. That's different from a single market-wide sentiment index — this reading reflects what's happening in Kenyan Shilling alone.

• How is KES's Fear & Greed score calculated?

  It blends five factors from Kenyan Shilling's own market data into one weighted score: overbought and oversold momentum oscillators (the largest input), price momentum, trading volume and money flow, volatility, and market structure. Each is scored and combined, then mapped to a sentiment zone from Extreme Fear to Extreme Greed.

• Does extreme fear mean I should buy KES?

  Not on its own. Extreme fear can flag a possible reversal — the 'be greedy when others are fearful' idea — and extreme greed can warn of froth, but sentiment is just one input and can stay stretched for a while. Confirm with technical analysis and your own research before acting.

• How often does the Kenyan Shilling score update, and can I get alerts?

  Kenyan Shilling's sentiment is recomputed roughly every 15 minutes as fresh price and volume data comes in, so it tracks recent conditions rather than every tick. Create a free Flicker account and set alerts to be notified when Kenyan Shilling flips between fear and greed zones.
