Crypto index from alternative.me. Stock gauge is Swoopr Investment's own proxy (VIX level + S&P 500 vs its 125-day average), not CNN's Fear & Greed Index. Index and crypto quotes are delayed market data from Yahoo Finance and CoinGecko, refreshed automatically. Sentiment scores and quotes are informational only and are not investment advice.
Today's Market Volatility
The VIX measures implied volatility on S&P 500 options, often called the market's "fear gauge." Below 15 indicates calm conditions; above 25 signals elevated concern; above 35 reflects crisis-level fear.
