Sentiment analysis agent: reading the mood of the market

Price follows sentiment, and sentiment follows news. Our Sentiment Analysis Agent monitors thousands of data sources in real time to measure how bullish or bearish the market feels about any asset, often catching shifts in mood before they show up in price.

What the sentiment analysis agent does

This agent uses natural language processing to scan and analyze content from major financial news outlets (Reuters, Bloomberg, CNBC, Financial Times), social media platforms (Twitter/X, Reddit, StockTwits), analyst reports and ratings changes, SEC filings and corporate press releases, earnings call transcripts, and financial forums and communities.

For each source, the agent assigns a sentiment score ranging from very bearish (−5) to very bullish (+5). These individual scores are weighted based on the source’s historical reliability and influence on price. A downgrade from Goldman Sachs carries more weight than a random tweet, and the agent understands this hierarchy.

Why sentiment matters for traders

Markets do not move on facts alone. They move on how people interpret and react to those facts. A company can report strong earnings, but if the market expected even stronger numbers, the stock drops. The Sentiment Analysis Agent helps you understand the gap between reality and expectation.

Extreme sentiment readings are particularly valuable as contrarian indicators. When sentiment is overwhelmingly bullish (everyone is optimistic), it often signals a top because there are no buyers left. When sentiment is overwhelmingly bearish (everyone is panicking), it often signals a bottom because all the sellers have already sold. The agent flags these extremes.

What you get in your report

The Sentiment section of your research report includes an overall sentiment score on a −5 to +5 scale, a breakdown of sentiment by source type (news, social media, analysts), recent sentiment trend (improving or deteriorating), notable news events or narratives driving current sentiment, and contrarian signals when sentiment reaches extreme levels.
