Deep Dive into Sentiment Methods

Sentiment can be assessed using any of three sophisticated methods, each utilizing closing prices. The chosen timeframe can lead to variations in results, underscoring the importance of strategic timeframe selection.

Linreg Method

Utilizing the Linreg technique, sentiment is discerned by fitting lines between consecutive days or months, leveraging least squares methods. Here, a positive slope indicates a bullish trend, a crucial insight for technical traders.

Accumulated Deltas Method

By calculating the net price movement through accumulated bullish and bearish changes, the Accumulated Deltas method deduces sentiment from the dominant price shift direction within a day or month.

Max/Min Method

The Max/Min method employs trailing maximum and minimum values to gauge sentiment, determining bullish or bearish trends based on price positioning relative to these extremities, especially useful for spotting reversals or confirmations.
