What is FearAlert's UK sentiment score?

The FTSE 100 market's emotional barometer

The UK Fear & Greed Index is a composite sentiment score for the London Stock Exchange, calculated from five market factors using the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) and iShares Core FTSE 100 ETF (ISF.L). It scores overall UK market sentiment from 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed).

Whether you're monitoring UK equities for contrarian entry points or managing portfolio risk, FearAlert turns FTSE 100 sentiment data into an automated email alert so you never miss the signal.

0 – 25
Extreme Fear
Historically strong buy signal — FTSE 100 is deeply oversold on sentiment
25 – 45
Fear
UK market pessimism — often precedes a recovery
45 – 55
Neutral
No strong sentiment signal — UK market is balanced
55 – 75
Greed
UK market optimism — be cautious of overvaluation
75 – 100
Extreme Greed
Caution signal — FTSE 100 may be overextended

How it's calculated

5 factors, one UK sentiment score
