	Trend sentiment measures the current trend of the stock price, and market sentiment reflects what market participants collectively think where the price will move next. Market sentiment will accelerate the current trend when both trend sentiment and market sentiment are at the same direction. Market sentiment will generate volatility when it's at the opposite direction of the trend sentiment. Market sentiment will eventually reverse the trend when it's getting stronger and opposite trend is getting weaker. News sentiment measures the daily emotion of the market. News sentiment may impact the daily price change while market sentiment is a more stable and consistent moving force. The market sentiment scores are calculated from many factors. Sentiment towards fundamentals and news sentiment are extracted from news headline. All sentiment scores are normalized in a -10 - +10 scale.
