What Is Fear and Greed Index?

The fear and greed index tries to measure market mood on a scale from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). It uses factors like volatility, volume, and surveys. Extreme readings can signal contrarian opportunities for some, but the index does not predict price. Use it for context, not as a buy/sell signal. In India, your investment and tax decisions should be based on your plan and risk, not the index alone.
