Every bot is built from the same eleven readings, published by cfgi.io for each crypto market and timeframe. Each one runs from 0 to 100, from fear to greed, on one scale.
0 to 19
Capitulation. Sellers are exhausted or panicking. Contrarian bots start looking for entries here.
20 to 39
Nervous market. Discounts appear, but the trend may still be down.
40 to 59
No strong lean either way. Many strategies sit out.
60 to 79
Optimism and momentum. Trend followers are comfortable, contrarians get careful.
80 to 100
Euphoria. Stretched prices and FOMO. Contrarian bots take profit here.
Every band chip prints its name as well as its colour, so you can read it in greyscale or with colour blindness.
The amber meter is the composite score. The other ten explain why it sits where it does.
The headline score blends ten sub-signals. Price and impulse carry the most weight, the other eight add context. Your bot can use the score, any single sub-signal, or a blend of your own.
Core · 30% of the score · price
Measures how far price has travelled from its moving baseline. Extended above trend reads as greed, deep below as fear.

Bitcoin now
91XGREEDMarket structure · 5% of the score · volatility
Price instability and fluctuation pressure. Calm markets score high; violent, erratic swings drag the reading toward fear.
Bitcoin now
28FEARMarket structure · 5% of the score · volume
Trading participation relative to normal. Rising volume on up-moves reads as greed; heavy volume on drops reads as fear.
Bitcoin now
46NEUTMarket structure · 5% of the score · technical
A weighted blend of classic trend and oscillator signals (moving averages, RSI-style momentum, MACD-style crosses).
Bitcoin now
56NEUTMarket structure · 5% of the score · dominance
How capital concentrates in this asset versus the rest of the market. Rotation into risk reads greedy; flight to safety reads fearful.
Bitcoin now
45NEUTCrowd · 5% of the score · social
Social media attention and sentiment. Hype cycles push it up; silence and negativity pull it down.
Bitcoin now
71GREEDCrowd · 5% of the score · trends
Search-interest and intent signals. Retail curiosity tends to spike near local tops and fade near bottoms.
Bitcoin now
42NEUTMoney flow · 5% of the score · whales
Large-holder flow pressure on exchanges. Whales withdrawing to cold storage reads bullish; deposits ahead of selling read bearish.
Bitcoin now
63GREEDMoney flow · 5% of the score · orders
Real-time order-book imbalance. Thick bids and thin asks read as buying pressure; the reverse as selling pressure.
