The fear and greed index was developed by CNNMoney to measure two of the primary emotions that influence how much investors are willing to pay for stocks.
The fear and greed index is measured on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. In theory, the index can be used to gauge whether the stock market is fairly priced. This is based on the logic that excessive fear tends to drive down share prices, and too much greed tends to have the opposite effect.
Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.
---Warren Buffett
Fear & Greed Index
What emotion is driving the market?
Market Momentum: Extreme Greed
The S&P 500 is 6.43% above its 125-day average. This is further above the average than has been typical during the last two years and rapid increases like this often indicate extreme greed.
Last changed Dec 22 from a Greed rating.
Junk Bond Demand: Extreme Greed
Investors in low quality junk bonds are accepting 1.72 percentage points in additional yield over safer investment grade corporate bonds. While this spread is historically high, it is sharply lower than recent prices and suggests that investors are pursuing higher risk strategies.
Last changed Dec 3 from a Greed rating.
Safe Haven Demand: Extreme Greed
Stocks have outperformed bonds by 4.25 percentage points during the last 20 trading days. This is close to the strongest performance for stocks relative to bonds in the past two years and indicates investors are rotating into stocks from the relative safety of bonds.
Last changed Dec 23 from an Extreme Fear rating.

Finding Opportunities For Trades
By identifying unusual price movements or large quantity trades, AI Monitor by moomoo can enable us to spot bullish or bearish trends and find windows of opportunities for profitable trades. In the screenshots below, we can see large block buys in the stocks of department stores Macy’s and Nordstorm.
This may be because in the run up to Christmas and the New Year, Macy’s $Macy's(M.US)$  and Nordstorm $Nordstrom(JWN.US)$ see soaring sales; it may also be due to the Santa Claus rally. One may decide to open a position to ride the bullish trend for the short term. On the other hand, if a stock is on a clear downtrend, one may decide to short the stock.
How to Access AI Monitor
Go to Quotes > Explore > Swipe right at the top to find AI Monitor. When the desired stock market (US, HK, CN, SG, CA and AU) is selected, the long-short distribution as well as price volatility are displayed. The data are classified by Markets, Watchlist (stocks in your watchlist), Sectors and Indices (DJI $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US)$ , S&P $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$  $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$  $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO.US)$ , Nasdaq $Nasdaq Composite Index(.IXIC.US)$ ).
In general, a white swan is a foreseeable and fairly certain event whose impact can be estimated while a grey swan is a foreseeable event that has significant impact but the probability is considered to be relatively low. The other extreme is a black swan which is impossible to imagine or predict. Hence, I think white swan for price volatility indicates lower volatility.
There is a wide variety of sectors available for selection upon clicking other sectors. If I select “Entertainment”, I will get results like $AMC Entertainment(AMC.US)$  $GameStop(GME.US)$  $Disney(DIS.US)$  $Roku Inc(ROKU.US)$  $Cinemark(CNK.US)$ $Comcast(CMCSA.US)$   $Netflix(NFLX.US)$ and so forth.
Clicking the three dots at the top right corner (see red arrow in the picture above) reveals a list of options for customisation. CN stands for ‘A’ Shares.
Limitations
Be aware of the fact that sophisticated investors can manipulate their trades to influence retail investors to their advantage and it is not always possible to discern their true intentions. Do your due diligence and trade with care. AI Monitor is a useful tool for detecting changes in the market quickly but always remember to manage your risk exposure and use it in combination with other information and tools to support your trading strategies.
