How to use the Fear & Greed Index for investing
The Fear & Greed Index is a contrarian indicator. When extreme fear dominates, it may signal buying opportunities as stocks become oversold. When extreme greed prevails, the market may be overvalued and due for a correction. Experienced investors use this tool alongside fundamental analysis to time entries and exits. The index should not be used in isolation, but as part of a comprehensive investment strategy.
