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

  The score at the top of this page is UGX'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 Ugandan Shilling Fear & Greed Index?

  It's a 0-to-100 gauge of market sentiment for UGX, 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 Ugandan Shilling's market conditions into a single, easy-to-read mood score.

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

  It's specific to Ugandan Shilling. The score is computed from UGX'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 Ugandan Shilling alone.

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

  It blends five factors from Ugandan 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 UGX?

  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 Ugandan Shilling score update, and can I get alerts?

  Ugandan 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 Ugandan Shilling flips between fear and greed zones.
