The index suggests sentiment has eased slightly. A reading closer to zero indicates extreme fear in the market, while a reading closer to 100 signals extreme optimism. CoinMarketCap calculates the index based on price movements among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, market volatility, derivatives-market indicators such as the put/call ratio, the stablecoin supply ratio, and CoinMarketCap’s own search data.
