Current reading: Extreme Fear (23/100). Extreme Fear historically precedes contrarian buying opportunities in DeFi markets. Agents using this feed for position-sizing logic can act on the signal immediately — no raw data processing required.

Data Format

Each query returns the current Fear & Greed reading with agent-useful fields. Sample response:

{
  "fearGreedIndex": {
    "value": 23,
    "classification": "Extreme Fear",
    "trend": "declining",
    "weeklyAverage": 28,
    "previousDay": 26,
    "timestamp": "2026-03-16T12:00:00Z"
  },
  "source": "Alternative.me",
  "updatedAt": "2026-03-16T12:00:00Z"
}

Fields

Field	Type	Description
value	number	Fear & Greed score (0 = Extreme Fear, 100 = Extreme Greed)
classification	string	Extreme Fear / Fear / Neutral / Greed / Extreme Greed
trend	string	7-day trend direction: rising, declining, stable
weeklyAverage	number	7-day rolling average score
previousDay	number	Yesterday's score (for delta calculation)
timestamp	string	ISO 8601 timestamp of the current reading

Agent Use Cases

DeFi position sizing agents — use Fear & Greed score as a risk multiplier: reduce position size during Greed (>75), increase during Extreme Fear (<25) per contrarian strategy logic
Risk management pipelines — trigger defensive rebalancing (move to stablecoins, reduce leverage) when sentiment drops into Extreme Fear zone
Portfolio rebalancing agents — combine with defi-yields-live to correlate yield opportunities with macro sentiment: high-yield + Extreme Fear = high risk-adjusted entry signal
Contrarian signal agents — build mean-reversion strategies using weekly average vs current reading delta; Extreme Fear + declining trend = potential reversal setup
DeFi research agents — add sentiment context to protocol analysis: same TVL at Fear 20 vs Greed 80 carries different interpretation for protocol health
