The Greed and Fear Index and liquidation map are somewhat useful for short-term trading. Generally speaking: When the Greed and Fear Index is low, short positions in the market far exceed long positions — a rebound could happen at any time. When the Greed and Fear Index is high, long positions in the market far exceed short positions — a pullback could happen at any time. In these recent waves of market movements, the whales have been targeting the liquidation map to trigger both long and short liquidations back and forth. The current market hasn’t formed a clear trend yet; it’s just local tug-of-war. Participating is far less beneficial than taking a break.
