When feelings make prices do weird things
Stock prices don’t move on facts alone. They move on feelings. Fear, greed, excitement or doubt. The market’s mood shifts momentum faster than most earnings reports.
This skill dives into what drives investor sentiment and how these emotional swings become buy and sell signals. Understand the crowd’s mood and you’ll stop being surprised when prices move faster than logic.
You'll learn:
- What investor sentiment means in practice and why it moves prices beyond earnings, news or rational models
- How fear, greed and herd mentality create price swings that have little to do with business reality
- When market mood becomes an actual trading signal and when it is just noise waiting to fade again
