For example, when traders are fighting against established trends the indicator offers a warning sign that the trend may be set to continue.<\/p><p>Another useful technique in incorporating the Market Sentiment tool into your trading is to look for record high or record low readings. For example, if 95 percent of traders are long a trading instrument this means that the trade is becoming way too overcrowded.<\/p><p>The same is also true in the opposite direction. If a disproportionate number of traders are short an instrument then it is considered overcrowded. Reading over 90 should be considered sentiment extremes.<\/p><p>Neutral reading provides us with an indication that range bound conditions are likely to persists in the near-term. The longer that sentiment remains neutral then there is more likelihood that the majority of trading action is probably taking place elsewhere.<\/p><p><strong>US Dollar Index Market Sentiment<\/strong><\/p><p>The Market Sentiment Indicator shows that 85% of traders are currently long the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/37m9dMU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US dollar index<\/a>.
