Why sentiment matters

Prices show what happened.
Sentiment shows what investors expect.

Behavioral finance has shown that emotions move markets. sentix turns investor expectations into indicators you can read at a glance.

Spot extremes

Fear and greed drive crypto markets. Sentiment extremes have often marked important turning points.

Read conviction

The Strategic Bias shows whether investors believe in Bitcoin's value – beyond the next price swing.

Manage risk

The Overconfidence Index warns when a winning streak makes investors careless – and positions risky.
