One market.
Two useful lenses.
Most pages silently choose one provider. We show the broad crypto market and the Bitcoin-focused index together, because they do not measure the same thing.

What is the Crypto Fear & Greed Index today?
The broad crypto-market score is 40 (Neutral). The separate Bitcoin-focused reading is 41 (Fear).
Why are there two crypto scores?
CoinMarketCap samples the largest eligible crypto assets and derivatives data. Alternative.me focuses primarily on Bitcoin behavior. Different inputs and classification bands can produce different readings.
Which crypto index should I use?
Use the broad-market score to assess large-cap crypto risk appetite and the Bitcoin-focused score when Bitcoin-specific behavior matters. Agreement is useful; divergence is also information.
Is fear a buy signal?
No. Fear can persist while prices fall. The index describes sentiment and should be combined with price, liquidity, volatility, valuation, and personal risk constraints.
