Fear & Greed Index

A CNN-style 0 → 100 sentiment gauge: 0 is extreme fear, 100 is extreme greed. It blends six free, market-internal proxies — momentum, price strength, breadth, the VIX, safe-haven demand (stocks vs bonds) and junk-bond demand. Each is mapped to a 0–100 sub-score by its trailing 3-year percentile and averaged. Read it as a contrarian timing tool: persistent extreme fear tends to mark lows, persistent extreme greed precedes pullbacks. All inputs are live from Yahoo Finance — no API key required.
