How these reports are built
Each quarter is computed from CFGI's stored daily readings of the Fear and Greed Index: the last 1d reading of every UTC day in the window, its 10 components and the stored daily MSCI price. Averages are over scored trading days only. A running quarter updates with every data cycle; a closed quarter is final.

About CFGI
The per-asset sentiment record.
CFGI is a market sentiment data company that scores crowd emotion from 0 to 100 across crypto and stock markets. Crypto readings cover the whole market and hundreds of individual assets across 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour and daily views. The stock index gives a live daily reading for wider stock market sentiment.
Every CFGI score is built from 10 indicators: price, volatility, volume, impulse, technical analysis, social media, dominance, search interest, whale movements and order book pressure. The same data powers our API, alerts and embeddable widgets.
