Understanding
the news mood record
Where it stands today
Bitcoin news read 63 out of 100, Positive, across every story Maketo covered that day as of .
What the number means
Every Bitcoin story Maketo reads gets a score for how it lands: helping, hurting, or neither. A day's stories average out to one number between 0 and 100, where 50 is the middle of the scale. Above 50 the day's news leaned toward helping Bitcoin, below 50 toward hurting it. This page keeps that number for every day, so you can see where today sits against the months behind it.
Why each part is read on its own
The news is not one story. A day can bring heavy buying by the funds and a hard week for regulation at the same time, and one number for the whole day hides both. So the same reading is kept for each of the 5 sections as well, and the tabs above let you follow one of them on its own.
Why some lines have gaps
A section is read only on a day it carried enough stories to read. On a quiet day the line simply has no point, and it breaks rather than drawing straight across days nobody measured. The note under each chart says how many days that section has actually been read on, and when its record starts.
What this is not
This is a reading of the news, not of the price and not of the market's mood. Bitcoin can rise on a day the news reads badly and fall on a day it reads well. For what the crowd is feeling rather than what the press is writing, the Fear & Greed reading is the page to open.
