Step 1
Read the index and state
The oscillator resembles an RSI but measures its own sentiment logic. Readings under 30 and over 70 provide fear/greed context, while state colour communicates whether the script sees high or slight fear/greed.

Step 2
Confirm reversal context
A fear or greed marker can identify a possible momentum swing, including occasional counterintuitive ‘oddball’ readings. Treat it as context and confirm with market structure, timeframe, and risk controls.
Step 3
Compare timeframes
Use the information table to monitor six timeframes without repeatedly changing the chart. A lower-timeframe entry can be evaluated against higher-timeframe sentiment state.
