Fear & greed, explained

Know how the market
feels. And why.

The market's fear and greed in one 0–100 number — plus a plain-language reason it moved today.

Free to install. No account, no ads.


One number, three signals

It fuses what the market is saying, doing, and fearing.

Most meters watch price alone. Sentiscale blends three reads into one honest 0–100 score.

01 · News

What's being said

Headlines scored for sentiment and market relevance — weighted, not just counted.

02 · Momentum

What prices are doing

The S&P's trend feeds the gauge as a signal — never shown as a raw quote.

03 · Volatility

What it's fearing

The VIX tips the gauge toward fear when traders pay up for protection.


The difference

A gauge is easy.
Telling you why is the hard part.

Every day, a short plain-language read on what moved the mood — fact-checked by a second AI pass before you see it.

  • Drafted, then independently verified before you see it.
  • Tied to today's number — no jargon, no hype.

Greed
Why today: Cooler inflation data and strong bank earnings lifted sentiment, while a calmer VIX eased the fear side. Megacap tech led the tape.
Verified Fact-checked before display

A measured edge — shown honestly

When the gauge has been here before, here's what came next.

No promises — just the backtested behaviour for the current band, with its real sample size. Over a six-month test, the reading led the market's next move:

59.5%
Directional hit-rate, 5 days out
+0.19
Information coefficient (≈0 means no signal)
Monotonic
Returns rose across every mood bucket

Not investment advice  A backtest is history, not a forecast — information, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
