Crypto Fear and Greed Index Alert to Telegram
What It Does
Every 4 hours, this workflow fetches the current Crypto Fear and Greed Index score, compares it to yesterday, adds live BTC price context, and delivers a concise plain-text Telegram alert explaining what is driving market sentiment right now.
Why It Matters
The Fear and Greed Index is one of the most reliable contrarian signals in crypto. Extreme fear often points to a buy opportunity, while extreme greed indicates caution. Checking it manually means you might miss critical shifts that happen throughout the day. This workflow monitors it seamlessly six times a day and sends the signal directly to your Telegram.
How It Works
| Step | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scheduled Trigger | Fires every 4 hours using a cron schedule. |
| 2 | AI Agent | Fetches the current and yesterday's Fear and Greed score, retrieves live BTC price and 24h change, and identifies the main sentiment driver from the web. |
| 3 | Telegram Integration | Delivers a clean plain-text message instantly to your designated Telegram chat. |
