Sentiment reading pro tip:
Had a lot of questions around this so addressing some key points here:
> Ignore the perma bears/bulls (or put them in a different category)
> Instead focus on the people who often call for higher or lower, yet often misconstrue or hide their positions, or who don't trade at all ("the chartists")
They give away most of the sentiment signals
I personally separate the global population in the following categories:
1/ The permas
2/ The chartists
3/ The decent traders (but are wrong on specific occasions)
4/ The comment sections
5/ The experts of wrong
6/ The macro "specialists"
7/ The tryhards
8/ The news announcers
9/ The describers
There are more categories, but for starters and to give you an idea.
1/ Least useful, but still give signals away such as how they become more active, suddenly make longer posts, or feel like they have to justify themselves for their perma positions. When they get loud, that's telling.
2/ Same as 1/, but both ways. Their mistakes often repeat. Also easy to spot as they get cynical, make jokes or construe an image. The more effort is put in to construing an image = the more likely the market becomes easy again to trade as it has been hard. More tricks to identify them is if also say vague things like "chart looks good/bad", "structure is up/down", with lack of transparency. Their level of clarity and transparency can be used as to how "easy" the market becomes again, likely means a shift is coming.
3/ Look for those specific occasions they are often wrong = great data to use for trading.
4/ Not my comment section, but of others, often to be assumed that over XX% is uninformed/misinformed.
5/ Not to mention any names, but these people are consistently wrong. Depending on the degree of conspiracy you like to go, can be intentional to "jynx" the market.
6/ Also their activity increases and decreases depending on how price moves. For example if they start gambling low timeframe, then they act out of line which is to be read as if that means we have been ranging for a long time and we likely break out or down soon.
7/ They are also useful for sentiment reading, especially their comment section. Often a lot of or at least some level of backlash on the most controversial positions, usually working out. These people devote a lot of time to the charts. As someone who charts XX hours per day on average, you can humbly include me if you like.
8/ They look at the news and the news only, which means their activity increases and their "chart" ideas get justified when great or bad news strikes. Good countertrades especially at peak level
9/ They often only say descriptive comments such as "the price is going up", we "have been" doing this. Often also continue the trend, typically think price keeps going in one direction. The more loud or bitter they get, the more clear it is the trend is going to end.
Overall comment: how to identify when people get the loudest, or peak their behavior to optimize the timing on sentiment reads (e.g. when are the permabulls the loudest etc)? That is where the rules of psychology such as the rule of 3, or the slow buildup + sudden peak (setup - punch in the game of comedy and humour) come in.
More on that, some other time.
