Fear and Greed Index- has the dynamic changed? check out the S+P 500 futures

For most of this year any kind of Fear and Greed index has been very much in favour of the latter. This is a nuanced indication of stock market sentiment, but perhaps you might be able to apply it to any instrument beyond the S+P 500 that most investors seem to look at. According to data seen this morning that index was at 70 in favour of Greed I month ago. A year ago it was at 61. A week ago it was at 58. For your guide a reading of 50 is neutral. Given the price swings and pick in volatility in recent days it looks like it might be lower again this week. This is certainly interesting given the price action in recent days. Yesterday the S+P 500 did not make any progress whatsoever by the close, ending the session exactly unchanged, at 5,917. The S+P 500 futures are right now pricing the opening not much above 5,900 and they have been pricing it lower prior to that.
