Check the gauge above for the current number and zone.
What is the United States Dollar Fear & Greed Index?
It's a 0-to-100 gauge of market sentiment for USD, 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).

Is this specific to United States Dollar or the whole market?
It's specific to United States Dollar. The score is computed from USD'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 United States Dollar alone.
How is USD's Fear & Greed score calculated?
It blends five factors from United States Dollar'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 USD?
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.
