Analyzing Market Data...
How It Works
1. We Fetch Data
We pull real-time sentiment from Alternative.me and price history from CoinGecko.
2. We Normalize
We convert volatility into a 0-100 score to match the Fear & Greed Index scale.
3. We Reveal the Gap
We compare "Feeling" vs "Reality" to see if the market is overreacting.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is "Reality" calculated?
We calculate the standard deviation of Bitcoin's daily returns over the last 14 days. This gives us a statistical measure of how much the price is actually moving (Volatility), which we then normalize to a 0-100 scale.
What is the "Fear Gap"?
The gap represents the difference between market sentiment (how people feel) and market volatility (what price is doing). A large positive gap suggests fear is higher than justified by price action.
