Hello everyone, I am currently learning about crypto because I want to start trading.So far, I have only studied theory and read articles about it. And I often come across terms such as the fear index and the greed index in the crypto market. As far as I know, these indexes show investor activity and the state of the market. But I don't fully understand how traders use them. Does the crypto fear and greed index really help fully understand the market? Or is it more of an additional analytics tool? Should I rely on it when making decisions? I am also want to know about the data on which this index is based and why its scale ranges from 0 to 100. If there are experienced traders who use this indicators, I would greatly appreciate a simple explanation.
