Why correlation, not just the level
Most sentiment tools show you a single number and leave you to guess whether it matters for what you own. The correlation coefficient on this chart answers that directly: a value near +1 means the Fear and Greed Index and GME moved together over the visible range, near -1 means they moved in opposite directions, and near 0 means there was no linear relationship at all. Broad market ETFs typically show a stronger relationship than individual stocks, whose prices are driven more by company-specific news than by aggregate sentiment.
The Fear and Greed Index blends seven market indicators into a single 0 to 100 score of whether investors are driven by fear or greed. A reading above 65 is Greed, often treated as a sell signal since buying has gotten ahead of itself, while a reading below 20 is Fear, often treated as a buy signal since panic tends to overshoot.
