How social media reflects negative stock market sentiment
An analysis of social media posts — done with the benefit of hindsight of the 1600 BSE Sensex crash on Monday, August 24, 2015 — suggests that people were fearful of a possible crash. Social media posts moved from a positive sentiment band in the beginning of last week to an utterly negative zone last Friday, hinting that investors were not confident of market holding up at higher levels, according to Heckyl Technologies, a data analytics firm.
