Crypto Fear & Greed Score [Underblock]Crypto Fear & Greed Score - Methodology & Functioning
Introduction
The Crypto Fear & Greed Score is a comprehensive indicator designed to assess market sentiment by detecting extreme conditions of panic (fear) and euphoria (greed). By combining multiple technical factors, it helps traders identify potential buying and selling opportunities based on the emotional state of the market.
This indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust weight parameters for RSI, volatility, Bitcoin dominance, and trading volume, making it adaptable to different market conditions.
Key Components
The indicator consists of two primary sub-scores:
Fear Score (Panic) - Measures the intensity of fear in the market.
Greed Score (Euphoria) - Measures the level of overconfidence and excessive optimism.
The difference between these two values results in the Net Score, which indicates the dominant market sentiment at any given time.
1. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The indicator utilizes multiple RSI timeframes to measure momentum and overbought/oversold conditions:
RSI 1D (Daily) - Captures medium-term sentiment shifts.
RSI 4H (4-hour) - Identifies short-term market movements.
RSI 1W (Weekly) - Helps detect long-term overbought/oversold conditions.
2. Volatility Analysis
High volatility is often associated with fear and panic-driven selling.
Low volatility in bullish markets may indicate complacency and overconfidence.
3. Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D)
Bitcoin dominance provides insights into capital flow between Bitcoin and altcoins:
Rising BTC dominance suggests fear as investors move into BTC for safety.
Declining BTC dominance indicates increased risk appetite and potential market euphoria.
4. Buying and Selling Volume
The indicator analyzes both buying and selling volume, ensuring a clearer confirmation of market sentiment.
High buying volume in uptrends reinforces bullish momentum.
Spikes in selling volume indicate panic and possible market bottoms.
Calculation Methodology
The indicator allows users to adjust weight parameters for each component, making it adaptable to different trading strategies. The formulas are structured as follows:
Fear Score (Panic Calculation)
Fear Score = (1 - RSI_1D) * W_RSI1D + (1 - RSI_4H) * W_RSI4H + (1 - Dominance) * W_Dominance + Volatility * W_Volatility + Sell Volume * W_SellVolume
Greed Score (Euphoria Calculation)
Greed Score = RSI_1D * W_RSI1D + RSI_4H * W_RSI4H + Dominance * W_Dominance + (1 - Volatility) * W_Volatility + Buy Volume * W_BuyVolume
Net Fear & Greed Score
Net Score = (Greed Score - Fear Score) * 100
Interpretation:
Above 70: Extreme greed -> possible overbought conditions.
Below -70: Extreme fear -> potential buying opportunity.
Near 0: Neutral market sentiment.
Trend Reversal Detection
The indicator includes two moving averages for enhanced trend detection:
Short-term SMA (50-periods) - Reacts quicklier to changes in sentiment.
Long-term SMA (200-periods) - Captures broader trend reversals.
How Crossovers Work:
Short SMA crossing above Long SMA -> Potential bullish reversal.
Short SMA crossing below Long SMA -> Possible bearish trend shift.
Alerts for SMA crossovers help traders act on momentum shifts in real-time.
Customization and Visualization
The Net Score dynamically changes color: green for greed, red for fear.
Users can adjust weightings directly from settings, avoiding manual script modifications.
Reference levels at 70 and -70 provide clarity on extreme market conditions.
Conclusion
The Crypto Fear & Greed Score provides a powerful and objective measure of market sentiment, helping traders navigate extreme conditions effectively.
🟢 If the Net Score is below -70, panic may present a buying opportunity.
🔴 If the Net Score is above 70, excessive euphoria may indicate a selling opportunity.
⚖️ Neutral values suggest a balanced market sentiment.
By customizing weight parameters and utilizing trend reversal alerts, traders can gain a deeper insight into market psychology and make more informed trading decisions. 🚀

Rich Robin Index, The Crypto Fear & Greed Index with RSI Trend The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator based on price movements that is used to determine whether a particular asset is overbought or oversold. It measures the ratio of rising to falling prices over a certain period of time.
The Fear & Greed Index, on the other hand, is a composite index that tracks the sentiment of the crypto market. It is based on seven indicators, each of which measures a different aspect of market behavior. These indicators are: Safe Haven Demand, Stock Price Breadth, Market Momentum, Stock Price Strength, Put and Call Options, Junk Bond Demand, and Market Volatility.
The combination of the RSI and the Fear & Greed Index can provide valuable insights for crypto traders. The RSI can help identify overbought and oversold conditions, while the Fear & Greed Index can give an overall sense of the sentiment in the market. Together, they can provide a more complete picture of the market conditions. For example, if the RSI is indicating that an asset is overbought, but the Fear & Greed Index is showing that the market is still in a state of fear, it may be a good time to sell. On the other hand, if the RSI is indicating that an asset is oversold, but the Fear & Greed Index is showing that the market is in a state of greed, it may be a good time to buy.

Simplified Crypto Fear & Greed DisplayA more simplified view of a Fear & Greed index.
This script has been made public because it uses Trading Psychology - Fear & Greed Index by DGT as the basis/inspiration for it.
I've re-imagined the visuals in order to display F&G data differently to the more traditional versions of the indicator floating around, as well as adapting it's calculations and reference assets for use with Crypto markets.
It's aim is to show the current status / mindset of market participants at a quick glance.
When there is a lot of fear in the market it is usually a good time to look for buying opportunities.
On the flip side you can use it to spot selling opportunities when there is too much greed / FOMO in the markets.
This indicator has the option for Traditional and Crypto markets.
The Traditional option uses the tickers VIX and GOLD as part of it's calculations, where as Crypto uses BVOL24H and BTC.D in order to base it's decisions off of more relevant data.
There are also 10 levels of smoothing so play around with that to get the desired result. Depending on the asset you are looking at, smoothing of 1 or 2 may work much better than 5+
Have a play around, customize it, use it and let me know what you think.
