sentiment check is better done on in a shorter time frame like daily not monthly because that is how quickly the market and the traders sentiment changes. the best evidence of it is the big candles we see on the charts regularly where people hear a certain news and FOMO.
i voted for sideways though.
Not really... Most people aren't like schizos who change their sentiment every 24 hours or so at every news release. Lol. But what I do in these sentiment threads is open the poll for the first couple of weeks of the month to get the votes in, then lock the poll at the second week to see what the sentiment is at the start of the month. That way we get the sentiment for the month before we see what the market brings for the month.
