market sentiment

Collective trader outlook

Market sentiment is the overall attitude or feeling that investors and traders have about a particular market or asset, whether optimistic (bullish) or pessimistic (bearish).

It reflects collective psychology rather than fundamental analysis, and can drive price movements independent of underlying value.

Analysts gauge market sentiment through surveys, trading volumes, and various indicators.

Market sentiment turned sharply negative after the earnings report.
