Sentiment Validation

Definition

Sentiment validation involves assessing and confirming the accuracy or reliability of public opinion and market mood indicators. In the digital asset sphere, this process evaluates whether prevailing sentiment, often derived from social media, news articles, or forum discussions, aligns with underlying fundamental or technical market data. It seeks to differentiate genuine market conviction from transient hype or misinformation. Analysts perform sentiment validation to gain a more accurate understanding of collective investor psychology and its potential impact on asset prices.
