About Index Mood
Index Mood is a real-time market sentiment analysis platform that transforms complex financial indicators into clear, actionable insights. We aggregate multiple sentiment metrics including fear & greed indices, put/call ratios, and market breadth indicators to help investors understand market psychology and make informed decisions.
Our Mission
We built Index Mood because retail investors deserve the same market sentiment data that institutional traders use — without the complexity, cost, or jargon. Our goal is to make professional-grade sentiment and breadth analysis accessible to everyone, from students learning about markets to experienced traders refining their strategies.
Every indicator on Index Mood is updated multiple times daily during U.S. market hours. Our methodology is transparent and documented on our Methodology page — because we believe data providers should explain how their numbers are calculated.
