Bitcoin real-time data
How to read the Fear & Greed Index
The Fear & Greed Index measures Bitcoin market sentiment on a scale from 0 to 100. A score below 25 indicates "extreme fear" — historically associated with opportunistic buying zones. A score above 75 indicates "extreme greed" — a prudence signal as the market may be short-term overvalued. The index is calculated from volatility, momentum, social media, dominance and Google trends. Source: Alternative.me.
Bitcoin dominance: what the number really says
Bitcoin dominance measures Bitcoin's relative weight in the global crypto ecosystem. In 2020-2021, it fell to 40% during the altcoin bull run (DeFi, NFTs). In 2022-2023, it recovered toward 50-55% during the bear market. In 2024-2025, with spot ETF approval and growing institutionalisation, it stabilised around 55-60%. Rising dominance indicates a "flight to quality" toward Bitcoin at the expense of altcoins.
24h volume: how to interpret it
Daily Bitcoin trading volume is a confirmation indicator. A price move accompanied by high volume is more significant than a low-volume move. In 2024, the arrival of spot ETFs structurally increased institutional volumes — part of the volume is shifting from crypto exchanges to US stock exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq) where ETFs are listed. The volume displayed here represents spot on-exchange volume according to CoinGecko data.
