Sentiment describes detected tone. “Potential price impact” flags a concrete event and explains a possible mechanism. They are independent signals.
Methodology & limitations
Transparent English keyword rules, not a language model. Bullish and Bearish reflect explicit terms; Mixed means both were found. No detected direction means no sentiment badge and no contribution to the score. Sarcasm, attribution and implicit opinions can be missed.
Each community thread contributes the average of its classified items (+1 Bullish, −1 Bearish, 0 Mixed). The score averages those threads × 100. News uses one weight per deduplicated headline. Above +15: Bullish; below −15: Bearish; otherwise Mixed. Fewer than five classified threads or headlines: Building signal, with no verdict. This threshold is a guardrail, not statistical confidence.
Official updates are context and do not enter sentiment scores. News uses headlines; posts use title and available feed text; comments use only their own excerpt. Text analysed is available under each item. Similar headlines and repeated text are filtered. Themes are topics, not AI summaries.
Impact tags are event candidates, not predictions or verified causal effects. A community claim remains unverified. No tag means no rule matched, not “no possible impact”. Official dates marked “updated” have day precision and use midnight UTC for window selection.
Collections run approximately every three hours. Up to 100 entries per feed and six official articles per run. The 30-day archive accumulates what these sources expose; it is not an exhaustive historical backfill. Public authors are not verified investors.
