    What is market sentiment?

    Short answer

    Sentiment is the overall mood of investors — are they greedy and buying, or scared and selling? It often moves prices in the short term.

    Why it matters

    Prices in the short term follow emotion. In the long term they follow earnings. Knowing the difference keeps you calm.
