US Fear & Greed Index vs. S&P 500
Notable Readings
FearAlert's tracked Fear & Greed Index history begins in July 2022. The extremes below are calculated from the archive currently available on this page.
These values describe FearAlert's tracked archive and may change as new historical data is added or corrected. They are context, not standalone investment signals.
Data & Methodology
The chart above uses the same 7-indicator methodology popularized by CNN Business — S&P 500 Momentum, Stock Price Strength, Market Breadth, Put/Call Ratio, VIX Volatility, Junk Bond Demand, and Safe Haven Demand — combined into a single 0–100 sentiment score.
FearAlert's historical archive currently spans July 2022 to today, with a new daily reading added automatically. Use the period selector on the chart (30D, 90D, 6M, 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y when available, or ALL) to zoom in on any window and compare the index against the S&P 500 (SPY) over the same period.
Why it matters
Looking at the long-term chart puts today's reading in context. A score of 30 means something different after a 6-month grind lower than it does the day after a market top. Comparing the current score against 1-week, 1-month, and 1-year-ago readings — all shown on the live score page — helps you judge whether sentiment is turning, not just where it stands today.
