The panic index skyrocketed from 21 to 42, signaling a rebound in market sentiment

【Blockchain Rhythms】 Recently, market sentiment has been quite volatile. The Fear and Greed Index today reached 42, whereas the day before yesterday it was 44. Interestingly, compared to the period last week (which had an average of only 21), the current level of panic has actually eased quite a bit.You might be curious about how this index is calculated. Essentially, it’s based on six dimensions: volatility, which accounts for 25% of the weight; trading volume, also 25%; social media activity (15%), market surveys (15%), Bitcoin’s share of the overall market (10%), and Google search trend analysis (10%). By combining these on a scale from 0 to 100, you can see whether the market is currently in a state of panic or greed.

【区块律动】最近市场情绪变化挺明显的。恐慌与贪婪指数今天来到了42，前天还是44，要说最有意思的是——跟上周那段时间（均值只有21）比起来，现在的恐慌情绪其实已经缓和不少了。

你可能好奇这个指数是怎么算出来的。说白了就六个维度：波动性占四分之一的权重，市场交易量也是四分之一，剩下的分别是社交媒体热度（15%）、市场调查（15%）、比特币在整体市场的占比（10%），再加上谷歌搜索热词分析（10%）。0到100的量表，把这些加起来就能看出市场现在到底是在恐慌还是贪婪。

21 to 42 directly doubles, is this rebound for real? --- Volatility trading volume accounts for half of the weight, this index is a bit too focused on technicals. --- Social media popularity is 15%, can the chatter from Twitter clowns really influence the market? --- From 21 to 42, it feels like everyone hasn't become very greedy yet. --- The index algorithm sounds quite comprehensive, but I don't know how accurate it really is. --- 42 looks more relaxed, but why do I still feel the risk is quite high? --- Bitcoin's proportion is only 10%, this weight distribution is quite interesting. --- There are so many sources for the panic index data, but it still feels different from my own perception.

Is it already 42? Feels pretty meaningless, the real big rebound won't count until it's above 50. Rising from 21 to 42 is just a relief; we need to keep pushing higher. Volatility and trading volume each account for half the weight. When these two data points stabilize, the index naturally rises. Nothing surprising about that. Social media buzz accounts for 15%. So now, are these people on Twitter starting to be optimistic again? Kinda funny. Bitcoin's 10% share is really too low. The weight setting seems a bit strange. The day before yesterday it was 44, today 42. This kind of pullback doesn't look very healthy. Google search hot keywords also count? That just shows how panicked the retail investors are. The current question is whether this index can really be trusted. Anyway, I still think the market isn't that good.

Jumping directly from 21 to 42, this rebound is really fierce, feels like the market is taking a breather The panic index, to put it simply, is about market sentiment, with volatility and trading volume being the main factors. Other weights like social media buzz and Google searches are not significant This recent rise is truly a bottom rebound, or are we about to start cutting leeks again? Not really sure This algorithm sounds rigorous, but in reality, it still depends on how on-chain data moves I’m a bit tempted to buy the dip but also afraid; positions like this are often the easiest to get trapped in
