The CAPIVIX Index gives crypto traders something traditional markets have long relied on - a clear measure of expected market volatility. Think of it as the VIX for Bitcoin and Ethereum, showing what the market anticipates for price swings over the next 30 days.

This crypto volatility index tracks market sentiment for BTC/USD and ETH/USD pairs by analyzing options data from major derivatives exchanges. When CAPIVIX rises, it signals increased uncertainty and potential turbulence ahead. When it falls, markets are expecting calmer conditions.

What makes CAPIVIX valuable is its methodology - we've adapted the widely-trusted VIX calculation approach to work specifically with cryptocurrency options. This gives you a standardized way to gauge market anxiety or confidence across different market conditions.

The index updates continuously throughout trading hours, incorporating real-time options pricing to reflect the market's evolving risk perception. For traders and investors looking to understand market sentiment beyond price movements alone, CAPIVIX provides that crucial additional dimension of market intelligence.

Cryptocurrency historical datasets from January 2012 (if available) to October 2021 were obtained and integrated from various sources and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) including Yahoo Finance, Cryptodownload, CoinMarketCap, various Kaggle datasets, and multiple APIs. While these datasets used various formats of time (e.g., minutes, hours, days), in order to integrate the datasets days format was used for in this research study. The integrated cryptocurrency historical datasets for 80 cryptocurrencies including but not limited to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Cardano (ADA), Tether (USDT), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), USD Coin (USDC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Tron (TRX), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), EOS (EOS), Cosmos (ATOM), Stellar (XLM), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Uniswap (UNI), Terra (LUNA), SHIBA INU (SHIB), and 60 more cryptocurrencies were uploaded in this online Mendeley data repository. Although the primary attribute of including the mentioned cryptocurrencies was the Market Capitalization, a subject matter expert i.e., a professional trader has also guided the initial selection of the cryptocurrencies by analyzing various indicators such as Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD), MYC Signals, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci Retracement, Stochastic Oscillator and Ichimoku Cloud. The primary features of this dataset that were used as the decision-making criteria of the CLUS-MCDA II approach are Timestamps, Open, High, Low, Closed, Volume (Currency), % Change (7 days and 24 hours), Market Cap and Weighted Price values.

Crypto Fear and Greed Index

Each day, the website https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/ publishes this index based on analysis of emotions and sentiments from different sources crunched into one simple number: The Fear & Greed Index for Bitcoin and other large cryptocurrencies.

Why Measure Fear and Greed?

The crypto market behaviour is very emotional. People tend to get greedy when the market is rising which results in FOMO (Fear of missing out). Also, people often sell their coins in irrational reaction of seeing red numbers. With our Fear and Greed Index, we try to save you from your own emotional overreactions. There are two simple assumptions:

• Extreme fear can be a sign that investors are too worried. That could be a buying opportunity.
• When Investors are getting too greedy, that means the market is due for a correction.

Therefore, we analyze the current sentiment of the Bitcoin market and crunch the numbers into a simple meter from 0 to 100. Zero means "Extreme Fear", while 100 means "Extreme Greed". See below for further information on our data sources.

Data Sources

We are gathering data from the five following sources. Each data point is valued the same as the day before in order to visualize a meaningful progress in sentiment change of the crypto market.

First of all, the current index is for bitcoin only (we offer separate indices for large alt coins soon), because a big part of it is the volatility of the coin price.

But let’s list all the different factors we’re including in the current index:

Volatility (25 %)

We’re measuring the current volatility and max. drawdowns of bitcoin and compare it with the corresponding average values of the last 30 days and 90 days. We argue that an unusual rise in volatility is a sign of a fearful market.

Market Momentum/Volume (25%)

Also, we’re measuring the current volume and market momentum (again in comparison with the last 30/90 day average values) and put those two values together. Generally, when we see high buying volumes in a positive market on a daily basis, we conclude that the market acts overly greedy / too bullish.

Social Media (15%)

While our reddit sentiment analysis is still not in the live index (we’re still experimenting some market-related key words in the text processing algorithm), our twitter analysis is running. There, we gather and count posts on various hashtags for each coin (publicly, we show only those for Bitcoin) and check how fast and how many interactions they receive in certain time frames). A unusual high interaction rate results in a grown public interest in the coin and in our eyes, corresponds to a greedy market behaviour.

Surveys (15%) currently paused

Together with strawpoll.com (disclaimer: we own this site, too), quite a large public polling platform, we’re conducting weekly crypto polls and ask people how they see the market. Usually, we’re seeing 2,000 - 3,000 votes on each poll, so we do get a picture of the sentiment of a group of crypto investors. We don’t give those results too much attention, but it was quite useful in the beginning of our studies. You can see some recent results here.

Dominance (10%)

The dominance of a coin resembles the market cap share of the whole crypto market. Especially for Bitcoin, we think that a rise in Bitcoin dominance is caused by a fear of (and thus a reduction of) too speculative alt-coin investments, since Bitcoin is becoming more and more the safe haven of crypto. On the other side, when Bitcoin dominance shrinks, people are getting more greedy by investing in more risky alt-coins, dreaming of their chance in next big bull run. Anyhow, analyzing the dominance for a coin other than Bitcoin, you could argue the other way round, since more interest in an alt-coin may conclude a bullish/greedy behaviour for that specific coin.

Trends (10%)

We pull Google Trends data for various Bitcoin related search queries and crunch those numbers, especially the change of search volumes as well as recommended other currently popular searches. For example, if you check Google Trends for "Bitcoin", you can’t get much information from the search volume. But currently, you can see that there is currently a +1,550% rise of the query „bitcoin price manipulation“ in the box of related search queries (as of 05/29/2018). This is clearly a sign of fear in the market, and we use that for our index.

There's a story behind every dataset and here's your opportunity to share yours.

--- Original source retains full ownership of the source dataset ---

The dataset was collected for the period spanning between 01/07/2019 and 31/12/2022.The historical Twitter volume were retrieved using ‘‘Bitcoin’’ (case insensitive) as the keyword from bitinfocharts.com. Google search volume was retrieved using library Gtrends. 2000 tweets per day using 4 times interval were crawled by employing Twitter API with the keyword “Bitcoin. The daily closing prices of Bitcoin, oil price, gold price, and U.S stock market indexes (S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow Jones Industrial Average) were collected using R libraries either Quantmod or Quandl.

Context

Cryptocurrencies have become more than just a computational challenge with the recent Bitcoin Future listing on NASDAQ, hence it becomes an interesting spot for analysts to get their hands dirty. This data even though is minimal, help analysts get started in the world of cryptocurrenices analysis.

Key Features:

Complete 1m Data: Raw 1m historical data from multiple exchanges, covering the entire trading history of ETHUSD available through their API endpoints. This dataset is updated daily to ensure up-to-date coverage.

Combined Index Dataset: A unique feature of this dataset is the combined index, which is derived by averaging all other datasets into one, please see attached notebook. This creates the longest continuous, unbroken ETHUSD dataset available on Kaggle, with no gaps and no erroneous values. It gives a much more comprehensive view of the market i.e. total volume across multiple exchanges.

Superior Performance: The combined index dataset has demonstrated superior 'mean average error' (MAE) metric performance when training machine learning models, compared to single-source datasets by a whole order of MAE magnitude.

Unbroken History: The combined dataset's continuous history is a valuable asset for researchers and traders who require accurate and uninterrupted time series data for modeling or back-testing.

Despite their libertarian use cases to enable peer-to-peer, trustless, decentralised peer-to-peer transactions, behaviour consistent with speculative trading accounts for the majority of cryptoasset uses.

The FCA cryptoasset consumer research 2020 concluded that 47% of people considered buying cryptoassets as a gamble that could make or lose money, 25% sees it as part of their wider investment portfolio, 22% don't want to miss out on a money making opportunity, 17% classifies it as part of their long term savings plan (e.g. pension), and 7% invest in it because they don't trust the current financial system. Majority of people buy them on the expectation that the asset will appreciate in value over time simply because more people are buying it which subsequently creates risks for investors at all levels of the pyramid.

The RDA Price data stands in contrast with the market price to reveal the impact of speculative trading on each asset. The fundamental-market price ratio (FMr) is a key data point in this product. The FMr enables crypto users and investors to determine over-pricing and and manage risks upside and downside.
