Volatility

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Zcash's Fear & Greed Index today?
The score at the top of this page is ZEC's live Fear & Greed reading, from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed), updated through the day. Unlike a single market-wide index, it's calculated from Zcash's own price and volume, so it reflects the mood around this asset specifically. Check the gauge above for the current number and zone.
What is the Zcash Fear & Greed Index?
It's a 0-to-100 gauge of market sentiment for ZEC, 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 Zcash's market conditions into a single, easy-to-read mood score.
Is this specific to Zcash or the whole market?
It's specific to Zcash. The score is computed from ZEC'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 Zcash alone.
How is ZEC's Fear & Greed score calculated?
It blends five factors from Zcash'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 ZEC?
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 Zcash score update, and can I get alerts?
Zcash'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 Zcash flips between fear and greed zones.
