Technical sentiment combines volume/volatility/option data to gauge market mood beyond pure price
  • Technical sentiment uses non‑price inputs (e.g., option skew, volume spikes) to infer bullish or bearish pressure.

  • Nang groups this as the third alpha family, distinct from pure price‑based methods.
  • The approach is especially useful in high‑frequency environments where order‑book dynamics reveal sentiment.
