Frequently Asked Questions
The India stock market fear and greed index scores NSE market sentiment on a 0–100 scale. Scores near 0 indicate Extreme Fear — heavy selling, most stocks falling. Scores near 100 indicate Extreme Greed — broad buying, most stocks rising. The StockViz Market Mood Meter uses advance/decline ratio, average daily change, and top-50 breadth to compute this daily.
On the StockViz Market Mood Meter: 0–20 = Extreme Fear; 20–40 = Fear; 40–60 = Neutral; 60–80 = Greed; 80–100 = Extreme Greed. Use it as a directional sentiment guide alongside fundamental and technical analysis, not as a precise buy/sell trigger.
Contrarian investors often use fear/greed indicators as a guide: extreme fear can signal oversold conditions worth reviewing, while extreme greed can flag crowded positions. However, no single indicator reliably times markets. The StockViz mood meter is an educational tool — combine it with fundamental analysis and consult a SEBI-registered adviser before investing.
The StockViz Market Mood Meter combines four signals: (1) Advance/Decline ratio across all NSE stocks; (2) Average daily % change across all NSE stocks; (3) Top-50 stock breadth — how many of the 50 largest stocks are advancing; (4) Top-50 average return. These four signals are equally weighted and averaged into a 0–100 score updated daily after NSE close.
The StockViz Market Mood Meter is on the free dashboard at stockviz.in/dashboard.html. It displays as a live gauge updated daily after NSE market close. The same page shows the advance/decline ratio, average NSE change, top-50 breadth, and Nifty 50 heatmap for full market context.
India VIX measures expected market volatility derived from Nifty 50 options prices — it rises when traders expect big swings ahead. The fear/greed index measures current market breadth and momentum — how many stocks are actually advancing vs declining today. VIX is forward-looking (expectations); fear/greed is current-state (reality). Both are useful in combination.
