Questions
How does this page know when stocks fall?
A bot checks the markets about every 30 minutes. When a region's index fund falls at least 1% in a session, or its Fear & Greed Index drops sharply, the bot updates this page with the news behind the move.
Where do the reasons come from?
From the day's market news, which Sentiscale scores with AI for direction and impact. This page lists the items that weighed most; the app explains the move in plain language.
Is this investment advice?
No. It is a sentiment gauge, not a recommendation. Sentiscale publishes its own track record, which shows no proven predictive edge.
