Started at 1,000. Stablecoins and gold tokens excluded. Members are the ten largest coins at each update, and the divisor adjusts when they change so the line stays continuous.

How it's estimated

Bitcoin aims for one block every 10 minutes, so the date is the remaining blocks × 10 minutes. Real block times vary, so the estimate drifts by days.

Today's crypto prices by market cap

How does the KryptoKap Pulse measure fear and greed?

Markets are people, and people sell when they're scared and buy when they're excited, usually at the wrong moments.

The KryptoKap Pulse turns that mood into a number from 0 to 100, using nothing but prices, so you can see the crowd's state of mind without reading a single post about it.

The four readings behind the score

Gauge from 0 to 100 split into extreme fear, fear, neutral, greed and extreme greed, with the needle at 32 (fear), beside the four inputs and their weights: 30, 20, 25 and 25 percent.
The Pulse blends how many coins are up today and this week with the size-weighted moves. Below 25 is extreme fear; above 75 is extreme greed. Free to reuse

It combines four readings of the top 100 coins, excluding stablecoins and gold tokens. They are the share of coins up today (30% of the score), the share up this week (20%), today's size-weighted move (25%) and this week's size-weighted move (25%).

Below 25 is extreme fear, 25 to 44 is fear, 45 to 55 is neutral, 56 to 75 is greed and above 75 is extreme greed.

It uses only prices, so it can't see social media, funding rates or news. Other fear and greed indexes include those and will read differently.

A worked example

Suppose 30% of the top 100 are up today, 40% are up this week, the market is down 2% today and down 6% this week. Each reading is scaled to 0–100 and weighted 30/20/25/25, giving a score in the low 30s, which is fear.

If tomorrow most coins bounce, the breadth readings jump first, which is why the Pulse can change quickly.

Why mood matters

Markets are made of people, and fear and greed push them to sell low and buy high. A number won't stop that, but it can make you notice when you're being carried along.

Some investors use extreme readings as a prompt to slow down and check their plan rather than act on the headline move.

The scaling behind a score of 32

Table of the four Pulse readings: 30% of coins up today scores 30, times 0.30 is 9 points; 40% up this week scores 40, times 0.20 is 8; a -2% day scales to 30, times 0.25 is 7.5; a -6% week scales to 30, times 0.25 is 7.5. The total of 32 sits in the fear band.
Each reading becomes a 0 to 100 score, then gets weighted. A day maps -5% to +5% onto 0 to 100 and a week maps -15% to +15%, so this example adds up to 32, which is fear. Free to reuse

Each of the four readings is turned into a number from 0 to 100 before weighting. The two breadth readings are simple. If 30% of the top 100 are up today, that reading is 30. The daily move is mapped so that a 5% fall is 0, no change is 50 and a 5% rise is 100. The weekly move uses a wider range, from a 15% fall at 0 to a 15% rise at 100.

In the example, 30% of coins are up today, worth 30 times 0.30, or 9 points. 40% are up this week, 40 times 0.20, or 8. The market is down 2% today: (−2 + 5) ÷ 10 gives 30, times 0.25 is 7.5. Down 6% this week: (−6 + 15) ÷ 30 gives 30, times 0.25 is another 7.5. The total is 32, in the fear band.

The ranges have limits. A 9% daily fall scores the same 0 as a 5% fall, so on a crash day the move readings bottom out and only breadth can push the score lower. That's why the Pulse rarely touches 0 or 100, since it would take every coin falling on both the day and the week, plus moves past both limits at once.

Checking the score, and why other indexes differ

Two lists. The KryptoKap Pulse uses four price readings: share of coins up today, share up this week, size-weighted daily move and size-weighted weekly move. A typical third-party crypto fear and greed index mixes volatility, momentum and volume, social media activity, Bitcoin dominance and search trends.
The Pulse reads prices only. Other fear and greed indexes add social media, search and dominance data, so the two can disagree on the same day. Free to reuse

Because the Pulse uses prices only, you can rebuild it from the coin table. Count how many of the top 100, without stablecoins and gold tokens, show a green 24-hour change, then do the same for 7 days. The size-weighted moves are close to the total market cap change over the same periods. Your result should land within a few points of the gauge.

Other fear and greed indexes work differently. The widely followed Crypto Fear & Greed Index from Alternative.me, published since 2018, mixes volatility, momentum and volume, social media activity, Bitcoin dominance and Google search trends. CNN publishes a separate one for the stock market built on seven indicators such as market breadth and the put to call ratio.

So on the same day, two indexes can read 30 and 50 without either being wrong. One might be reacting to a burst of anxious posts while prices have barely moved. If you follow more than one, watch whether they move in the same direction rather than whether their numbers match.

Key terms

Breadth
How many coins are moving in the same direction.
Size-weighted
Bigger coins count for more.
Contrarian
Acting against the crowd's mood.

Mood is a snapshot, and it can last

  1. What happens next. A fearful market can get more fearful. The Pulse describes the mood, it doesn't time it.
  2. Why people feel that way. It reads prices only, so news, social media and funding rates are invisible to it.
  3. How long a mood will last. Extreme readings have lasted for weeks at a time.

What people get wrong

Why it matters

Mood swings drive short-term prices. Seeing them as a number helps separate feelings from facts.

Common questions

Why only price data?

It keeps the score transparent, since anyone can check it against the coin table.

Is the Pulse the same as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index?

No. The Pulse is KryptoKap's own score built only from prices of the top 100 coins. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index from Alternative.me adds social media, search trends, volatility and dominance. They often point the same way but rarely show the same number.

Can the Pulse reach 0 or 100?

In theory, yes. A 0 would need every coin down on the day and the week, with the market falling at least 5% today and 15% this week. Those conditions rarely line up all at once, so readings below 10 or above 90 are uncommon.
