UK Stock Fear & Greed Index: How to Read FTSE Market Sentiment

A simple guide to reading StockFear UK for FTSE 100, major UK stocks and market sentiment without treating it as trading advice.

What the UK fear index shows

The UK Stock Fear & Greed Index is a market-temperature check. It combines trend, short-term returns, drawdown, volatility and RSI-style sentiment to show whether major UK markets are leaning toward fear, neutral conditions or greed.

Why FTSE sentiment matters

The FTSE 100 is influenced by banks, energy, healthcare, miners, consumer staples and global currency exposure. A single headline index can hide very different sector behaviour, so comparing the index with major stocks can give a cleaner picture.

How to use it

Use StockFear before chasing a move. A low score should lead to better questions about trend and volatility. A high score should lead to an overheating check. The score is not a prediction model and not a buy or sell signal.
