Why Is the Fear and Greed Index Showing Fear When Price
Is Up?
When the Fear and Greed Index reads fear while price rises, it is a divergence: sentiment and price
disagree.
1
Price isn’t everything
The score blends ten inputs, not just price.
2
Weak internals
Thin breadth or volume can flag caution in a rally.
3
A useful divergence
Fear on a green day can warn of a shaky move.
