What Is Market Sentiment?
Market sentiment captures the collective mood of traders — whether they are positioning for gains (bullish), expecting declines (bearish), or sitting neutral. Understanding sentiment adds context to price moves and can support smarter decision-making.
Bullish, Bearish & Neutral
Bullish sentiment indicates more traders expect prices to rise. Bearish sentiment suggests the opposite. Neutral readings show balanced positioning with no clear directional bias.
Combine sentiment with technical indicators and fundamental news for a more complete market view. Never rely on sentiment alone.
