Understanding
How the Nasdaq 100 score is built
Three independent layers feed this score. The news layer is our AI reading every relevant Nasdaq 100 article our pipeline ingests, scored from -1 to +1. The crowd layer comes from derivatives positioning (funding percentiles, long/short ratios). The institutional layer comes from weekly CFTC positioning where a matching futures market exists.
The layers deliberately disagree at the most interesting moments. Panicked news with washed-out crowd positioning is the classic capitulation setup; euphoric news with crowded longs is its mirror. The composite blends them (news 0.5, crowd 0.25, institutional 0.25, renormalized when a layer has no data), but the layer breakdown above is where the actual reading happens.
Sentiment is a contrarian tool at extremes and a confirming tool in the middle. We recompute hourly; the history shows how scores evolved into and out of recent moves.
Common Questions
Why is a layer sometimes null?
Quiet news days produce no scoreable Nasdaq 100 articles, and not every asset has a matching futures market. The composite renormalizes over whatever layers have data.
