I've never heard of the Fear & Greed Index before, but I love the concept. At first I thought it was satirical, but after reading I realize it's a tangible thing.
What I am curious about is how they scientifically come up with the numbers. I wonder if it's strictly the market and economy numbers or if they factor in people's emotions by doing random interviews on the street, etc.?

Yeah, the index does actually exist. Not sure if it's science ( not that I believe much in science these days haha ). I honestly doubt it's based on street interviews and the like but, in a way, people's emotions and overall sentiment are pretty visible on platforms like Twitter these days ;<)
