Fear & Greed is at 28, but the VIX sits at just 16.1.

Traders are terrified, but the market isn't actually panicking. That mismatch is where opportunity hides.

When fear drops to 28 during an official market decline, most beginners panic sell. But with volatility under 17, this is a controlled pullback rather than a crash. Smart traders use calm declines to build positions while everyone else looks away.
