Nvidia (NVDA) Stock May Be 27% Undervalued Despite Record Highs
NVIDIA has ridden the AI infrastructure boom to a market value in the trillions, and after such a powerful multi year run, many investors are asking whether the current share price is still grounded in the cash flows the business can generate. Over the past 5 years, NVIDIA has delivered a very large share price gain of around 953.4%, which puts a lot of weight on the question of how much cash its GPUs and related platforms can ultimately produce. The historic US$150b increase in share...

How the AI Fear & Greed Index is calculated
Published score is a structured linear combination of four sub-indices: Market Momentum 36% (AI session breadth when the coverage basket is not live, capex, price-volume breadth proxy, technical breadth, options crowding), Ecosystem Supply 25% (log-scaled compute deflation and externally sourced ecosystem breadth), Macro Liquidity 23% (official rates and inflation, plus a live session tape of Nasdaq 100, NVIDIA, VIX, gold, silver, oil, and bitcoin), and Attention Sentiment 16% (TECHi reader attention capped at 4/100, news sentiment, catalysts and weekly tape). The experimental TECHi adoption clock is shown as context but does not move the published score. Each component is converted to a 0-100 z-score percentile against TECHi methodology priors; stale measured inputs decay toward 50, fully refreshing components are excluded, and their weight is redistributed across active components. Editorial placeholders do not count in the live-input ratio. Editorial assumptions without a source observation date have an unknown review date; the hourly calculation time does not refresh their evidence. The final headline score applies a freshness confidence multiplier to the active score deviation from neutral.
Every input links to its source. Stale or missing feeds are automatically down-weighted, and the score is pulled toward neutral when live coverage is low — so the number reflects how much real data is actually behind it.

AI Fear & Greed Index — FAQ
What is the AI Fear & Greed Index?+
The AI Fear & Greed Index is a 0–100 gauge of investor sentiment toward the AI economy. Low scores indicate defensive composite inputs; high scores indicate constructive inputs. This is not a measurement of investment flows. It blends 12 weighted, source-linked signals (AI-stock momentum, capex, compute costs, ecosystem breadth, quote-page demand, news sentiment, and macro pressure) into one number, refreshed hourly.
Is the AI market in fear or greed right now?+
Right now the index reads 49 out of 100, which is "Neutral". The composite inputs are mixed. A composite of price, news, activity and editorial assumptions; it does not measure dollars entering or leaving AI investments and has no established predictive track record.
How is the AI Fear & Greed Index calculated?+
Each of the 12 components is scored 0–100, normalised against versioned methodology priors (a z-score percentile); sufficiently populated recorded history can calibrate those priors, then combined by weight into a composite. Stale or missing feeds are down-weighted and the headline score is pulled toward neutral (50) when live coverage is low, so the number honestly reflects how much current data supports it.
How is it different from the Crypto Fear & Greed Index?+
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index by Alternative.me measures Bitcoin sentiment, driven mostly by price, volatility, and social volume, and updates about once a day. TECHi's index measures the AI economy instead — AI-stock breadth, AI capex, compute (token) costs, ecosystem breadth, and macro liquidity — updates hourly, and links every input to its source.
How often is the index updated?+
The index recomputes every hour. The page shows the time of the last update, an auto-refresh countdown to the next one, and a manual refresh button, and you can pull the latest reading anytime from the public JSON API.
How should I use the score?+
Treat it as market-mood context, not a buy or sell signal. This index has no established predictive track record. It is a dashboard for AI-stock research, earnings, and risk appetite — it is not investment advice.
