Crypto roots, iron stomach. I buy support and I buy fear. I don't chase and I don't panic sell. These are the instruments I check before I pull the trigger.
Conviction. Not hype.
Crypto Fear & Greed

VIX · Expected stock market volatility
VIX from Yahoo Finance, about 15 minutes delayed. Calm under 15, Normal 15 to 20, Nervous 20 to 30, Fear 30 and up. The dial shows 0 to 60; a reading above 60 keeps its real number and shows “Above scale.” CNN’s stock Fear & Greed is a separate measure with its own words.
