FAQ

FOMOmeter is a real-time sentiment engine for the crypto market. It measures what market participants express and feel in the moment across social platforms, converting it into a 0–10 scale that reflects the mood of the majority.

Built on pure social data, it opens a new dimension of market analysis beyond charts and numbers. Previously, such a tool was available only to big players, but modern technology has now made it accessible to everyone.

FOMOmeter constantly analyzes large-scale discussions across social networks. Advanced systems clean the raw flow by removing spam, bots, and manipulation.

The remaining content is organized and structured, making visible the emotional patterns and narratives that shape the crypto market. Learn more in the Research center.

Old fear and greed indices rely on outdated data such as volatility, search trends, or BTC dominance, updating only once a day and often reflecting a manipulated picture shaped by hype and media.

FOMOmeter takes a different path. It is updated every three hours in real time, built purely on social data, revealing how the crowd actually feels, not how institutions want it to look.

The FOMOmeter scale ranges from 0.0 to 10.0, mapping the full spectrum of crowd emotions in the crypto market.

At the lower end are Max Fear (0.0), Fear, Anxiety, and Pessimism — phases marked by panic, caution, and disbelief.

The middle levels reflect Concern, Stability, and Hope — moments when sentiment balances and the market searches for direction.

The upper end holds Optimism, Euphoria, FOMO, and finally Max FOMO (10.0) — stages of overheated expectations where greed dominates.

The scale is dynamic: sentiment can climb into hope and euphoria or fall back into anxiety and fear. Short-term readings may swing quickly, while longer timeframes provide a more accurate view of collective behavior.

FOMOmeter updates every three hours, giving a steady stream of fresh data on market sentiment.

This pace makes it easy to see how mood changes during events, from fast market moves to longer trends. Short updates show quick reactions, while longer views highlight the lasting impact of major events.

FOMOmeter is fully independent, created by crypto enthusiasts for the community rather than by funds, big players, media, or market makers.

It is not tied to institutional interests and does not promote outside narratives. Data is interpreted by advanced algorithms, not humans, ensuring transparency and removing bias.

This independence makes FOMOmeter a tool the community can rely on, free from manipulation.

Charts and technical analysis show how price has moved, while on-chain metrics track the flow of capital.

FOMOmeter adds the human layer by capturing crowd emotions that often drive those movements. Used together, these tools can give a more complete picture of the market.

FOMOmeter does not provide trading signals or financial advice. It does not instruct on buying or selling.

The platform reflects market sentiment for informational purposes, helping the community understand the emotions behind price action. Always do your own research and be cautious when making trading decisions.
