Q: How is the market sentiment value calculated?

Classify bullish/bearish from social media traders' public discussions, and after weighted statistics, normalize to 0–100.

Q: Is it the same as the Fear and Greed Index?

The approach is similar but the methodology differs: we directly sample social media trader discussions, and the sample is fixed to ensure comparability.

Price is the result, sentiment is the process. The Market Sentiment Value turnsbullish/bearish discussions by traders on social mediainto a quantified number from 0–100, helping you see "what the crowd is thinking right now."

What Is the Market Sentiment Value

The Market Sentiment Value (MSI) daily extracts bullish/bearish tendencies from traders' public discussions of individual stocks on social media, weights them by sample and normalizes to 0–100: higher means more optimistic (greed), lower means more pessimistic (fear). It isindependent of price action, capital flows and institutional data, and is a separate observation line.

How We Sample

We lock in a batch of real trader accounts as a fixed sample pool, daily collect their public discussions and classify them by a sentiment dictionary, then compile the index after tallying the bullish ratio. The sample is fixed, ensuring comparability.

How to Read the Sentiment Value

Two types of usage: ① Look at extremes—when sentiment stays at a high or low level for a long time, the crowd's consensus itself is worth noting; ② Look at divergence—price is rising but sentiment is weakening, or price is falling but sentiment is strengthening, which are often signals worth watching.

Relationship with Other Indicators

Sentiment is "expectation", capital flows and dark pool are "action", short selling and options are "bets". When all four point in the same direction, the signal is strongest; when they diverge from each other, it indicates disagreement. We do not provide any buy or sell advice, only present the data faithfully.
