How we write about data
Three rules behind every guide
Compare a series with itself
A reading means little until you know what is normal for that series. Every guide reads data against its own history.
Attention is intensity, not direction
Excitement and alarm both raise attention. We never read a spike as bullish or bearish on its own.
Describe, never forecast
Guides describe what recorded data showed and how to read it. None of them predicts prices or gives advice.
Read the data, then explore it
Every chart in these guides comes from the same Attention Interest Oscillator data you can explore on Sentalysis, across seven assets and four keyword categories.
Free plan: one keyword, daily data, two years of history. No card required.
Sentalysis is an analytics and research tool. Nothing on this page is financial, investment or trading advice, a trading signal or a price prediction, and similar timing between attention and price does not establish cause. Sentalysis does not execute trades or connect to wallets or exchanges. Read the research-use notice.
