About the gauge
The BrixNation VIX Fear & Greed Gauge is a free embeddable market sentiment indicator for websites, blogs and newsletters. It uses the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) to calculate a 0–100 sentiment score across five zones: Extreme Greed, Greed, Neutral, Fear and Extreme Fear.
The gauge is used by investors and traders to quickly assess whether markets are complacent or stressed. A rising VIX signals increasing fear and uncertainty while a falling VIX suggests growing confidence. Extreme readings in either direction have historically marked important market turning points.
Who is this for?
The free widget is ideal for financial bloggers, investment newsletter writers, trading educators, stock market websites, dividend investing communities and anyone who wants to add a professional market sentiment indicator to their site without the cost or complexity of a data subscription.
The widget is hosted entirely on BrixNation's servers — your website simply displays it via an iframe. No data agreements, no rate limits, no maintenance. The gauge data is sourced from Yahoo Finance and updated multiple times daily on weekdays. Not financial advice.
