Sentiment over time
Sentiment swings in cycles: fear rarely lasts, and neither does euphoria. The bands mark the five zones, so you can see how today's reading compares with every session before it.
14 Jul 2025 to 10 Jul 2026
-10.8 ptsWhat's driving it
Every signal is scored from 0 (deepest fear on record) to 100 (peak greed) against its own two-year history. The composite is their simple average: 7 signals are live today.
Where the KSE-100 trades against its own recent trend. Strong, persistent upside reads as greed.
How turbulent daily KSE-100 moves are versus the past ten weeks. Calm tape reads as greed, chop reads as fear.
Whether rising or falling stocks are attracting more of the exchange's trading value on the day.
How many liquid PSX stocks sit near their 52-week highs versus stuck at 52-week lows.
Whether trading value is expanding or drying up, and which direction the market is pushing that money.
Two-week returns on gold in rupees and the US dollar versus the KSE-100. Money hiding in gold reads as fear.
Speculative appetite in PSX futures: how much trading migrates to leverage and how much open interest builds.
Net foreign buying and selling (FIPI) as a share of market turnover. Persistent foreign buying reads as greed.
This signal is collecting live history and will join the composite automatically once it has enough data to be ranked fairly.
How to read it
Warren Buffett's old rule is the whole point of a sentiment dial. Extremes on this meter tell you more about the crowd than about the market: they mark the moments when prices are most likely being set by emotion instead of fundamentals. For the full story behind the dial, read our complete guide to the PSX Fear & Greed Index.
Investors are running for the exits. Historically, panic like this has often marked better entry points than exits, but it can persist during real crises.
Caution rules the market. Buyers are selective, volumes are hesitant, and good news gets discounted. A common zone during consolidations.
Neither emotion has the upper hand. Readings here are noise around the long-run average: the market is doing something close to its usual, and that is a finding in itself.
Optimism is broadening. Rallies attract volume and dips get bought quickly. Trends often continue here, but discipline on position sizing matters.
Euphoria territory. Everyone is bullish and risk feels invisible, which is exactly when history says to double-check your assumptions.
The index is an information tool, not investment advice. It describes market sentiment; it does not recommend buying or selling any security. Investing in equities involves risk, including the loss of principal. Do your own research or consult a licensed advisor.
Methodology
Each signal's raw value is ranked against its own history over roughly the last two trading years. A score of 80 means today sits higher than 80% of those sessions. No judgement calls, no manual adjustments.
The composite is the simple average of the live signals, so a single wild indicator cannot hijack the reading. New signals, like foreign flows, only join once they have enough history to be ranked fairly.
After every PSX session closes, Investify ingests the day's official market data, gold and currency prices, futures activity and FIPIForeign Investor Portfolio Investment: the net value foreign investors bought or sold on the PSX. Persistent foreign buying tends to support the market; persistent selling weighs on it. flows, then recomputes the full index and publishes it the same evening.

Volatility
20-session realized volatility of KSE-100 returns against its own 50-session average, inverted.
Breadth
A liquidity-filtered Arms Index (TRIN): advancing versus declining counts weighed by traded value.
Price Strength
Share of the liquid universe within 5% of its 52-week high minus the share near its 52-week low.
Volume Momentum
20-session average traded value versus the 90-session average, signed by the index's direction.

FAQ
It is a daily sentiment meter for the Pakistan Stock Exchange, scored from 0 to 100. Readings below 30 signal extreme fear, 30 to 45 fear, 45 to 55 neutral, 55 to 70 greed, and above 70 extreme greed. It condenses seven independent market signals into one number so you can see, at a glance, which emotion is driving the market.
Each signal (KSE-100 momentum, volatility, market breadth, price strength, volume momentum, safe haven demand and derivatives activity) is ranked against its own history over roughly the last two trading years, producing a 0 to 100 percentile score. The composite is the simple average of the available signals, so no single indicator can dominate the reading. A foreign flows signal joins the average automatically once it accumulates enough live history.
Once every trading day. Investify computes the index after the PSX close each weeknight, using that session's official market data, and publishes the new reading the same evening.
CNN's index tracks the US market using signals like the VIX, junk bond demand and put/call ratios. Ours is built specifically for the PSX: it uses KSE-100 data, breadth across liquid PSX stocks, gold priced in rupees, the US dollar, PSX futures activity, and foreign investor flows (FIPI), signals that actually move the Pakistani market.
In PSX history, extreme fear days have bounced harder over the following month than ordinary fear or neutral days, which is the contrarian logic behind sentiment meters. But greed is not automatically a sell signal either: in Pakistan's long bull runs, greed readings often kept running for months. The index is a context tool, not a trading signal or investment advice, so always combine it with your own research and risk management.
No indicator can. The index measures what sentiment IS today, not what prices will do tomorrow. Its value is perspective: when your own mood matches an extreme on the dial, that is usually the moment to slow down and re-check your reasoning.
