What Is UnitedHealth?
It breaks alone.
UnitedHealth Group is one of the largest health insurers in the United States and, through Optum, one of its largest providers of care, pharmacy benefits and health data services. Its scale makes it the bellwether for the whole managed care industry, and it also makes it a target: Medicare Advantage billing practices and Optum's pharmacy arm have both drawn federal scrutiny, and the share price has spent recent years reacting to investigations, policy and reimbursement rates rather than to anything resembling a normal earnings cycle.
The CFGI read: UnitedHealth's worst day on the index belonged to UnitedHealth, not to the market. On 27 January 2026 the score collapsed 42 points in one session, from 60 to 18 out of 100, straight through Fear and into Extreme Fear, with the shares at $282.70. Across the whole stock board that day only 53 of 246 names sat in Fear or worse and just 4 reached Extreme Fear. Everyone else was calm. This crowd was not.
UnitedHealth Fear and Greed Index History
Q3 2026 breakdown. The table below updates daily.
The Extreme Fear reading held for three days and opened a 12-day run of Fear or worse that lasted until 11 February 2026, the longest anxious stretch in the record. It was also rare. Across 273 scored days from 23 June 2025 to 24 July 2026, only 3 closed in Extreme Fear, which ranks UnitedHealth 127th of the stocks we rank by that measure, squarely mid-table. This is not a jumpy name. It simply breaks hard when it breaks.
What followed was one of the most sustained recoveries on the board. From 7 April 2026, when the score jumped 17 points to 71, the crowd held Greed or better for 29 consecutive days through to 15 May 2026, peaking at 80 out of 100 and Extreme Greed on 22 April 2026 with the shares at $353.52. The price made the same journey more slowly: from a low of $237.77 on 1 August 2025 to $435.02 on 21 July 2026, closing the window 39.6% higher than it opened. Sentiment and price recovered together, which is not always how it goes on the overall market Fear and Greed Index.
Today the reading is 41 out of 100, Neutral, against a window average of 50. The zone tally explains the character: 132 days Neutral, 76 in Greed, 60 in Fear, and only 5 days in the two extremes combined. For all the noise around this company, its crowd spends most of its time withholding judgement, then changes its mind in one enormous step.

It measures the emotional state of the UnitedHealth market on a 0 to 100 scale, from extreme fear at 0 to extreme greed at 100. CFGI builds that number from ten indicators including price action, volatility, volume, momentum, technicals and social sentiment, rather than from price alone.
How do I use the UnitedHealth Fear and Greed Index?
Most people use it to size risk rather than to time entries. The extreme readings are the useful ones: they flag when the crowd has become one-sided, which is when caution costs least and greed costs most. Read it alongside price and volume, never on its own.
