Twitter/X Sentiment
The pulse of the retail trader and the breaking news firehose.
Twitter (X) Sentiment is the highest-velocity sentiment data available. It captures the raw, unfiltered reactions of millions of market participants instantly. From retail traders ('Fintwit') to institutional accounts, Twitter is often the first place news breaks and narratives form.
Cashtags and Cashtag Velocity
