How to read this timeline
What a month card shows. The big number is the monthly average of the Crypto Fear & Greed Index — every day of the month added up and divided, nothing smoothed. Under it: the zone that average falls in, the lowest and highest daily score, and how the month compared with the one before.
Where this record stands. The Crypto Fear & Greed has been running since July 2026. Its strongest month so far was August 2026 at 55.7; its calmest was July 2026 at 49.8 — a spread of 5.9 points. Compared with its first month it is now higher by 5.7.
Why the month pages matter. An average hides the story. Each month page lists the biggest daily moves and the headlines that caused them, plus what eased the pressure. That is how you tell a one-day shock from a real shift.
Locked and open. Closed months are locked the day they end and never rewritten. The current month refreshes every night until it closes, so its card can still move.
