Where the numbers come from
Crypto Fear & Greed: alternative.me. Crypto prices, market cap and stablecoins: CoinGecko. Bitcoin block height: mempool.space. Stock indexes, gold, oil and the dollar: Yahoo Finance (with FRED closing prices as a backup). Interest rates, VIX, junk-bond spreads, inflation and recession dates: FRED, the database of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Bank of Canada: its Valet API. ECB and Bank of England: their own statistics sites. Prediction markets: Polymarket and Kalshi public data. Headlines: the Federal Reserve, CoinDesk and Cointelegraph feeds. The page refreshes about every five minutes; markets that are closed show their last price.
How is the stock fear & greed number made?
It is MES’s own composite, not CNN’s index (that one uses data we cannot get for free). It averages three readings, each ranked against its own last year so they share a 0-100 scale: how far the S&P 500 is above or below its 125-day average, the VIX (flipped, since a high VIX means fear) and the extra interest junk-rated companies pay over the US government (flipped too). The method is written out next to the gauge so anyone can check it.
Questions
Is this financial advice?
No. It is a summary of public data with explanations. Mood indexes, yield curves and betting odds describe what is happening or what people expect; none of them reliably predicts what prices will do. Talk to a licensed adviser about your own money.
Does the yield curve predict recessions?
A negative 10-year minus 2-year spread came before every US recession since the 1970s, usually by 6 to 24 months, which is why people watch it. But the gap varies a lot, and the 2022-2024 inversion, the longest on record, had not been followed by an official recession as of late 2026. It is a warning light, not a calendar.
What does “72% on Polymarket” mean?
A “Yes” share pays $1 if the event happens. If it trades at 72 cents, traders as a group are acting as if the chance is about 72%. Prices move with news and with the money in each market, so treat them as the crowd’s current guess.
Why is the Fed meeting countdown useful?
Interest-rate decisions move mortgage rates, savings rates, stocks, the dollar and crypto. The Fed announces at 2:00 pm Eastern on the second day of each meeting; four meetings a year also publish the “dot plot” of where officials expect rates to go.
