# Breadth, Sentiment & External Data > Market internals, positioning, options-derived data, crypto-native and macro feeds. Price shows what the market did; sentiment and breadth show who was behind the move. The tools gathered here measure participation and positioning: how many stocks are advancing, which groups lead, what option prices imply about volatility and hedging demand, where futures traders and funds are positioned, what surveys and composite gauges say about the mood, and how yields, credit, and the dollar frame everything else. Crypto adds its own layer, since funding rates, open interest, and on-chain data expose positioning with unusual transparency. Most of these readings are context rather than triggers. Broad participation tends to confirm a trend, while narrowing breadth, stretched positioning, or extreme sentiment mark conditions where reversals become more likely. Their timing value is contested, so they are best read together, raising or lowering confidence in price-based signals. ## Breadth Measures how much of the market is participating in a move, from advance/decline data and up/down volume to thrust signals and the share of stocks above key moving averages. -
