Market Sentiment for 5 Holdings Stocks w/ Biggest TTM Price Change

Importance of Knowing Investors’ Market Sentiment in Decision-Making

How do you gauge the market sentiment?

By running a survey or observing discussions on stock market-related Facebook Groups?

But how do you verify the integrity or objectivity of their comments? That’s the problem!

Occasionally, I run surveys on Facebook Groups, but not to check the market sentiment but to ask them which stock they’d like me to write about in my next article. That way, I maintain the objectivity of my stock selection process as far as when deciding which stock to feature in my articles.

I check the overall market sentiment rating of a stock to help me decide whether I should hold my position since my trailing stop is still intact or pre-empt it.

The market sentiment also helps me estimate if the prevailing direction of the share price is likely to continue or reverse.

For example, if the stock is in a downtrend and the prevailing market sentiment is bearish, it means the downtrend is likely to continue.

If the stock is in a downtrend, but the market sentiment turns bullish, it’s a sign that investors might see a bullish reversal.

Again, and again, notice the adverbs I’m using – “likely” and “might”. We’re still talking about probabilities and not certainties.

Still, it’s better to be data-driven and be proven wrong by the market than make decisions based on gut feeling alone. The former gives you the opportunity to optimize something while the latter doesn’t.

I have an extensive explanation about why I created my proprietary Market Sentiment Index indicator in some articles on my website. Use the SEARCH box on this website and type “Market Sentiment” to read my other articles where I talked about this subject.
