• Is this specific to CFA Franc BEAC or the whole market?

  It's specific to CFA Franc BEAC. The score is computed from XAF'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 CFA Franc BEAC alone.

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

  It blends five factors from CFA Franc BEAC'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 XAF?

  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.
