How it works

Optimism's index is the weighted mean of its components today (price momentum, volatility, funding rates, taker flow, long/short ratio), each scored from 0 to 100 against its own past two years: below 25 is extreme fear, 25 to 44 fear, 45 to 55 neutral, 56 to 75 greed and above 75 extreme greed. The market page explains how each component is calculated, how to read the index and how it differs from other fear and greed indexes.

Questions

What is the Optimism Fear and Greed Index?

A daily reading from 0 to 100 of how fearful or greedy the Optimism market is, calculated by CryptoKeyhole from OP's own price momentum, volatility, derivatives positioning, order flow and, where we have them, on-chain and attention data. Each part is ranked against its own past two years.

Is the Optimism market fearful or greedy today?

The reading at the top of this page answers it, with its zone. It updates every hour; today's value is a partial reading until the day closes at 00:00 UTC.

How is it different from the usual crypto fear and greed index?

It is calculated separately for each coin, from our own market and derivatives data rather than social media, and every component, weight and reading is published on the page.
