+0.16 mildly bullish

up 0.35 vs 24 hours ago · up 0.26 vs a week ago

last 7 days

New since yesterday: Bitcoin ETF demand and outperformance outlook; Bitcoin price targets and market analysis; Central bank rate hikes impact markets; Clarity Act failure spurs agency rulemaking. Faded out: Bitcoin mining and energy constraints; Circle launches Arc mainnet; Clarity Act fails in Senate.

This is the sentiment of the news field around Bitcoin (BTC) — which way what is currently published pulls, and how strongly, on a scale from −1 to +1. It is not price and not a price forecast. Zero means forces pull in opposite directions and are roughly equal; the further from zero, the more one-sided the coverage.

We do not recommend using this index as your only source. It is one instrument among several — meant to be combined with technical, fundamental and any other analysis you run.

Where this number gets its authority

A single hourly run reads well over a hundred headlines from dozens of publishers, and it runs every hour — for Bitcoin and for the other two instruments alike. This is a sweep of the coverage, not a sample of it. News stays the majority of the reading by design; for Bitcoin it is also blended with social sentiment from a curated list of X accounts and with crowd price-expectations from Polymarket, where the money at stake is real.

Narratives are the story at a glance — and a barrier against fakes

The Bitcoin headlines above are grouped into narratives, so an hour of coverage can be read in seconds: what is being talked about, how loud each story is and which way it leans. The grouping is also the filter. A narrative needs at least two headlines from two different publishers, so a claim no other outlet carries — however loud — never earns its own line here. Promotional posts and the same story republished in another language are damped to near-zero, so wide coverage counts and noise does not.

Everything on this page is checkable

There is no login and no API key: every article behind the Bitcoin reading is listed above with a link to the original and with the weight it was given. The index has been recorded hourly since 14 July 2026, so this reading can be compared with its own past rather than taken on trust. The approach follows peer-reviewed research on news sentiment in financial markets.
