Market sentiment reflects the collective emotional state of traders and investors regarding a particular asset. When positive sentiment prevails, it can drive up demand and push prices higher. Conversely, negative sentiment can lead to a decrease in demand and lower prices. Social media platforms and news outlets are key sources for gauging market sentiment.
