It updates once a day. Our page automatically refreshes the value every hour from the official source (Alternative.me).
What does a value of 62 mean?
A value of 62/100 falls in the "Greed" zone. Check the zones table to understand what it implies for the market.
Can I use it to make investment decisions?
It is a context signal, not a recommendation. Many investors use it as a contrarian filter: caution during extreme greed, attention during extreme fear. This is not financial advice.
