What this data is
Sentiment for Microsoft
Each tracked asset gets one reading from -1 to +1, built from the tone of recent news and how traders are positioned and updated every 5 minutes; higher is more bullish, lower is more bearish. The parts are shown next to the total, so you can see what moved it.
A score near zero can be calm agreement or two strong readings cancelling out, which is why the parts sit beside the total. The crowd part is how traders are leaning on the exchanges right now, and for a stock how heavily it is sold short. Where an asset has a futures market in the CFTC report, the institutional part is how the large traders there are positioned.
