How to read it
This index is for spotting extremes, not timing trades.
Bottoms tend to follow long stretches of fear and capitulation, and tops come with euphoria. A reading in the middle says little.
Use it as confluence, never as a trigger. Act on an extreme only when price structure agrees. One example is a higher low after extreme fear. Another is a failed breakout after extreme greed.
Greed is not automatically a sell signal. Sentiment can stay greedy for weeks in an uptrend.
Compare it with funding and open interest.
It lags price, and it can stay extreme for a long time. The crypto version and the stock version are built differently, so treat this as context only.
No profit is guaranteed. This is not financial advice.
The Bitcoin page has the chart, funding, and open interest. The ETF flows page tracks the US spot funds.
