Daily average of (bull % − bear %) across 85 tracked tickers, rescaled 0–100. 50 = neutral. Reflects the tone of news coverage, not price predictions — read changes, not levels.
Bullish verdicts (64 tickers): 67% rose over the next 3 trading days · average move +1.7%
Bearish verdicts (5 tickers): 20% fell over the next 3 trading days · average move +2.3%
How this is measured: each ticker's verdict from a week ago is checked against its price move over the first 3 trading days that followed — a deliberately short window, closer to the horizon a sentiment read speaks to before the news cycle can re-rate it. "Rose" / "fell" counts direction only (did it move the way the verdict implied?); the average move shows the magnitude. Neutral verdicts are excluded. This is a backward-looking measure of one snapshot held for three days — it is not a forecast, and past accuracy does not guarantee future results.
