Our price-based sentiment estimate. Historical scores use the same formula. This is not an official index or a price quote.
How this market's score is calculated
We calculate a sentiment estimate from Yahoo Finance daily prices: distance from the 125-day moving average (30%), position in the trailing 252-session high/low range (20%), inverse percentile of 20-session volatility (25%), 14-session RSI (15%), and distance from the 20-day moving average (10%). Scores are normalized to 0–100. Historical scores use the same formula and are published only after all lookback windows are complete. These are our estimates, not official sentiment indices; the weights have not been validated as trading signals.
