Understanding Market Sentiment
Sentiment analysis gauges market emotions — fear and greed cycles that create buying and selling opportunities.
What is Market Sentiment?
Market Sentiment measures the collective emotional state of crypto investors. It combines price momentum, social media activity, and market indicators to determine if the market is driven by fear (selling) or greed (buying).
Contrarian Approach
Warren Buffett's famous quote applies: 'Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.' Extreme fear often creates the best buying opportunities, while extreme greed often precedes corrections.
How We Use It
Sentiment is weighted at 8% in our Value Score. We use a combination of short-term price momentum as a proxy for broader market sentiment per coin.
