Market sentiment refers to the overall attitude of investors toward a particular security or financial market. It indicates whether investors are feeling bullish and prices are rising, or bearish and prices are falling. There are several indicators that can help measure market sentiment, such as the VIX, high-low index, and bullish percent index. Key takeaways are that market sentiment reflects overall consensus on stocks and whether the tone is optimistic or pessimistic based on price movements.

The document discusses how investor psychology and behavioral biases influence trends, consolidations, and reversals in the market. It explains that markets are driven by expectations, which arise from beliefs, biases, emotions like fear and greed. During trends, positive feedback loops cause prices to self-promote in a direction due to bias. Consolidations involve varying emotions as fear and hope as the trend interrupts. At tops and bottoms, cognitive dissonance causes investors to ignore contrary evidence or double down due to bias. Understanding these behavioral elements can provide insight into how and why markets move.MARKET INDICATORS.pptx
Market indicators are a type of technical indicator that use quantitative data and formulas to interpret stock or index movements and forecast market trends. There are three main types of market indicators: breadth indicators, which measure advances and declines; volume of trade, which relates trading volume to price changes; and 52-week highs and lows, which indicate resistance and support levels. Market sentiment indicators gauge investor psychology through metrics like short interest ratios, mutual fund liquidity, odd-lot indexes, and put/call ratios.

This document provides an overview of behavioural finance. It defines behavioural finance as the study of how psychology impacts the behaviour of financial practitioners and markets. Key points made include:
- Behavioural finance focuses on how cognitive biases and emotions can affect investor decision-making and lead to market anomalies.
- Traditional finance assumes rational investors while behavioural finance incorporates insights from psychology about actual human behaviour.
- Heuristics, framing, emotions, and market impacts are four major themes of behavioural finance that characterize how it differs from traditional models.
- Behavioural concepts like heuristics and framing help explain anomalies not addressed by models like the efficient market hypothesis which behavioural finance has sought to

Technical analysis uses indicators to analyze market trends and identify reversals. Volume is an important indicator, with higher volume on uptrends and lower volume on downtrends signaling a strong trend. The Dow theory examines primary, secondary, and minor trends in the market over different time periods. Support and resistance levels and moving averages are also used to identify trends. Indicators like short interest, breadth of the market advances vs declines, and odd lot trading can provide additional signals about market strength and upcoming trend changes.
Efficient market hypothesis
- Eugene Fama introduced the efficient market hypothesis in the 1960s, which states that intense competition in capital markets leads to fair pricing of securities.
- Fama suggested three forms of market efficiency - weak, semi-strong, and strong. Weak-form says prices reflect all past price and volume data. Semi-strong says prices rapidly reflect all public information. Strong-form says prices reflect all public and private information.
- Empirical evidence generally supports weak-form but is mixed for semi-strong. Strong-form is not supported. Overall, while anomalies exist, the efficient market hypothesis remains the best description of how stock markets work.
Technical analysis
1) Technical analysis uses historical market data like prices and trading volumes to identify patterns that may forecast future price movements. It aims to determine optimal times to buy and sell securities.
2) Critics argue that technical analysis assumptions like past price patterns repeating are flawed given market efficiency, and trading rules may become self-fulfilling prophecies.
3) Various technical indicators are used to identify overbought or oversold markets, measure investor sentiment, and identify support/resistance levels and trends.

Specifically, it is important to analyze whether the market momentum is impulsive or corrective, and if the trend is volatile or non-volatile in order to know the best times to enter or exit the market. The document emphasizes understanding market behaviors by viewing charts as a graphical representation of how fundamental events affect prices.
SECTION V - CHAPTER 37 - Sentiment Measures from Market Data
This document discusses various market sentiment indicators including the Commitment of Traders report, VIX, insider trading, open interest, short interest, and the put/call ratio. The Commitment of Traders report provides data on futures market positions. VIX measures expected market volatility. Insider trading involves trading on non-public information.

The put/call ratio uses options data to gauge bullish or bearish market sentiment.
What causes Stock prices to plummet.pptx
Stock market prices can plummet due to various technical, exogenous, macroeconomic, and market trend factors. Technical factors relate to patterns in stock price charts analyzed by technical analysts. Exogenous events beyond normal business operations, like natural disasters, can also impact stock prices. Changes in macroeconomic conditions that hurt corporate earnings, like high inflation, tend to drive stock prices lower. Additionally, current market trends, where investors buy rising stocks and sell declining ones, can influence prices. This momentum-based strategy aims to profit from trends but carries volatility risks.
Price Action Trading Best 100% Successful Strategies used by Investors.pdf
What is meant by price action?
The movement of a security’s price plotted over time is known as price action. All technical analysis of a stock, commodity, or other asset chart is based on price activity. Many short-term traders base all of their trading choices solely on price movement and the formations and trends that can be drawn from it. Since it employs previous prices in calculations that can then be used to advise trading decisions, technical analysis as a practice is a derivative of price action.
A method for speculating on the financial markets called “price action trading” involves analyzing the fundamental changes in price over time. It is frequently used by institutional traders, hedge fund managers, and a large number of retail traders to forecast the future direction of the price of securities or financial markets.
In other words, price action trading is a ‘pure’ form of technical analysis because it doesn’t use any indicators that are derived from previous prices. The only data a market generates about itself that price action traders are interested in is price movement over time.
Price action analysis enables a trader to comprehend market price movement and offers explanations that help the trader create an image in their minds of how the market is currently structured. A market’s ‘gut feel’ and the experience of seasoned price action traders are frequently cited as the main drivers of their trading success.
A trader can attempt to interpret the human thought process underlying a market’s movement using the price action of the market. As they trade, each participant in a market leaves ‘clues’ in the form of price action on the price chart of that market. These clues can be analyzed and used to try to predict the next move in a market.
What Can You Learn from Price Action?
Charts that show price changes over time can be used to observe and interpret price action. To better identify and understand trends, breakouts, and reversals, traders’ use various chart compositions. Since candlestick charts show the open, high, low, and close values in the context of up or down sessions, they aid in the better visualization of price movements and are popular among traders.
Price action can be visually interpreted using candlestick patterns like the Harami cross, engulfing pattern, and three white soldiers. Many more candlestick formations can be created based on price action to predict what will happen next. Other chart types, such as point-and-figure charts, box charts, box plots, and others, can use the same formations.
Many technical analysts calculate technical indicators using price action data in addition to the visual formations on the chart. The objective is to uncover order in a price’s occasionally seeming random movement. For instance, the price action indicates that bulls have attempted a breakout on multiple occasions and have gained momentum each time, so an ascending triangle pattern created by applying trend lines to a price ac

Technical Analysis.pptx
Technical analysis is a method of evaluating investments using historical price patterns and trends. It uses tools like trend lines, support and resistance levels, moving averages, trading volume, chart patterns, candlesticks, and indicators to identify potential opportunities.

Technical analysts believe studying these tools can help forecast future price movements.
Foreign exchange markets
Foreign exchange markets are affected by economic, political, and psychological factors that influence supply and demand. Economic factors include fiscal and monetary policy, economic growth reports, inflation levels, and trade balances. Political conditions and events within and between countries also impact currency values. Market psychology reflects trends, reactions to events, and traders' interpretations of economic data.

Views on the role of speculation in currency markets are mixed, with some arguing it provides liquidity while others see it as destabilizing.
Section 2 - Chapter 10 - Volume Analysis.pdf
Volume is a key indicator in technical analysis that measures the number of shares or contracts traded during a given period. It provides important context to price movements by showing the level of participation and liquidity in the market. Higher volume during a price move indicates that the move is more significant. Volume analysis attempts to reveal the relationship between price trends and corresponding volume to determine if the price action is confirmed or contradicted. By analyzing price and volume together, one can gain insights into future price movements.

Members and candidates must uphold the integrity of capital markets. Specifically, they must not trade or share material non-public information that could affect investment prices. They also should not engage in practices like price distortion or artificially inflating trading volume with the intent to mislead others in the market. This standard is meant to promote ethical conduct and protect investors.
Lecture A - Standard I Professionalism
The document summarizes standards of professionalism for CMT Level I regarding knowledge of the law, independence and objectivity, misrepresentation, and misconduct. Standard I(A) states that members must understand and comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and in conflicts comply with the more strict rule. Standard I(B) requires members to maintain independence and objectivity and not accept gifts that could compromise their judgment. Standard I(C) prohibits knowingly misrepresenting analysis or recommendations. Standard I(D) prohibits conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, or deceit, or acts that adversely affect one's professional reputation.
SECTION VII - CHAPTER 44 - Relative Strength Concept
Relative strength compares the performance of one asset to another over a period of time by taking the price of one and dividing it by the other. It provides context on whether an asset is undervalued or overvalued relative to its historical trading range compared to the other. Pairs trading strategies look for opportunities when two historically correlated assets diverge in their relative strength. Tools for analyzing relative strength include price ratios, relative strength ranks based on market performance, volatility ranks, and identifying bullish or bearish divergences in the price relative.
SECTION VII - CHAPTER 42 - Being Right or making money
The document discusses keys to making money in investing rather than focusing on being right in forecasts. It summarizes that successful investors use objective indicators rather than emotions, have discipline to stick to their system, are flexible enough to change their view when evidence shifts, and carefully manage risks. It provides insights from legendary investors like John Bogle, Paul Tudor Jones, and the Ned Davis Research Group about relying on indicators, not fighting trends, being wary of crowds at extremes, and prioritizing money making over being right.
SECTION VII - CHAPTER 41 - Objective Rules & Evaluation
This document discusses objective vs subjective technical analysis. Objective analysis uses clearly defined rules that can be backtested, while subjective analysis relies on private interpretations that may differ between analysts. The document focuses on objective analysis and defines rules as functions that transform market data into signals. It discusses factors like position bias, market trends, and look-ahead bias that can influence backtest results. Detrending data and accounting for trading costs are presented as ways to properly evaluate rules.
SECTION VI - CHAPTER 40 - Concept of Probablity
This document provides an introduction to probability concepts. It defines probability as the chance of an event occurring and lists some key rules, such as the probabilities of all possible outcomes must sum to 1. It describes the normal probability distribution as a bell-shaped curve that is symmetric around the expected rate of return. It then discusses skewness and kurtosis as measures of the asymmetry and peakedness of a distribution.
SECTION VI - CHAPTER 39 - Descriptive Statistics basics
This document defines and explains key concepts in descriptive statistics, including measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of variability (standard deviation, variance). It provides formulas and examples for calculating each measure. The mean is the most common measure of central tendency and is the average value, while the median is the middle value and mode is the most frequent value. Standard deviation and variance are measures of how spread out the values are around the mean.
SECTION V- CHAPTER 38 - Sentiment Measures from External Data
The document discusses several sentiment measures derived from external data sources:
1) The American Association of Individual Investors surveys individual investors to gauge bullish or bearish sentiment.
2) Investors Intelligence tracks sentiment indicators like advisor reviews and insider activity to measure market participant sentiment.
3) Magazine cover indicators, like analyzing covers of BusinessWeek, Forbes, and Fortune, are sometimes used as a contrary indicator of economic sentiment.
4) Mutual fund liquidity ratios and money market fund assets are also discussed as measures of investor risk appetite and market sentiment.
SECTION V - CHAPTER 35 - Academic Approaches to Technical Analysis
The document discusses several theoretical approaches to analyzing financial markets, including the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) and the adaptive market hypothesis (AMH). The EMH suggests that markets are efficient and prices fully reflect all available information, while the AMH combines EMH with behavioral economics by proposing that people are rational but sometimes irrational during periods of volatility, and they adapt and learn from their mistakes over time. The document also examines research on noise trading, informed vs. uninformed traders, and empirical evidence that both past prices and nonpublic information can be used to generate profits.
SECTION V - CHAPTER 34 - Noise Traders as technical Traders.pdf
Trend-following noise traders use technical analysis of stock price charts to inform their trading decisions in a systematic way. This can lead to self-fulfilling trends as many noise traders react to the same patterns. Models attempt to explain bubble and crash behaviors that seem driven by herd instincts rather than fundamentals. The Abreu-Brunnermeier model allows bubbles to form but not certainty that arbitrage will burst them. Shiller's model notes stock prices anticipate dividends more than fundamentals would suggest, implying an impact from investor psychology contrary to prevailing views.
SECTION V - CHAPTER 33 - Noise Traders & Law of One Price
This document discusses the concepts of fungibility, the efficient market hypothesis, and noise traders. It explains that under the EMH, two identical items should have the same price. However, behavioral economists argue that giving items different names could lead to different prices if the names influence perceptions. It then discusses noise traders, who trade based on non-fundamental factors and influence prices away from efficiency. For noise traders to significantly impact markets, their behavior must be systematic and they must economically survive over time, posing a challenge to market efficiency.
SECTION V - CHAPTER 31 - EMH Basics
- The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) states that current stock prices fully reflect all available public information such that no investors can earn above-average returns by trading on that information.
- There are three forms of the EMH: weak (only past prices), semi-strong (all public information), and strong (all public and private information). Most evidence supports the semi-strong form.
- Under EMH, markets have no memory, trust market prices, and individual stocks behave randomly in line with a "random walk" where future prices cannot be predicted from past prices.
SECTION IV - CHAPTER 30 - VIX Index
The document discusses various volatility indexes including the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) which measures the market's expectation of 30-day volatility in the S&P 500. It describes how the VIX is calculated using S&P 500 option prices and provides insights into how movements in the VIX relate to market sentiment, risk, and expected market movements. Additionally, it summarizes other major volatility indexes tracking implied volatility in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ-100, Russell 2000, S&P 100, and NASDAQ QQQ.
SECTION IV - CHAPTER 29 - Implied Volatility Basics
Implied volatility is the market's forecast of a likely movement in a security's price. It is used by investors to estimate future price fluctuations and is often employed to price options contracts. Implied volatility increases in bearish markets when prices are expected to decline, and decreases in bullish markets when prices are forecast to rise. Implied volatility differs from historical volatility, which measures actual past price movements.
SECTION IV - CHAPTER 28 - Options
Options are financial derivatives that provide the right, but not obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price. There are two main types of options: calls, which give the right to buy, and puts, which give the right to sell. Options provide leverage, hedging opportunities, and profits with lower risk than buying the underlying asset. Key terms include strike price, expiration date, premium, open interest, in/out/at the money, implied volatility, and assignment. Greeks like delta, gamma, vega and theta measure how an option's price changes with the underlying asset price, volatility, and time. Implied volatility estimates future volatility based on option prices.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

SECTION V - CHAPTER 36 - Market Sentiment & Technical Analysis
- 1. Module - 55 Market Sentiment & Technical Analysis CMT LEVEL - I
- 2. Market Sentiment •Market sentiment refers to the overall attitude of investors toward a particular security or financial market. •It is the feeling or tone of a market, or its crowd psychology, as revealed through the activity and price movement of the securities traded in that market. •In broad terms, rising prices indicate bullish market sentiment, while falling prices indicate bearish market sentiment.
- 3. Market Sentiment • Market sentiment is often presented as a characteristic of crowd behavior. • Humans behave under the influence of other humans and show a tendency to conform to the crowd - even if the crowd is wrong. • Crowds typically think and act differently than individuals act when uninfluenced by others. • In financial markets, this results in market participants not taking objective trading decisions based on rational conclusions, but rather emotional decisions based on feelings.
- 4. Indicators to Measure Market Sentiment The VIX The High-Low Index Bullish Percent Index Moving Averages
