As a technical indicator, news about the stock, or company, such as an earnings release or other event, could move the stock counter to the recent trend. Sentiment is how investors, or the market, feels about a stock. There are lots of ways to measure sentiment. At the core, sentiment is pretty easy to understand. If a stock is going up, investors must be bullish, while if it is going down, sentiment is bearish.
