About this gauge
Heisenberg asked for a CNN / AAII-style gauge that only tracks retail sentiment on X. This is that product: one number, a tape, ticker heat, and a contrarian prompt.

How it works →Neutral tape. No forced action.
Sentiment is not at an extreme. Let positioning and the next macro print do the work. Use the ticker board to hunt single-name dislocations instead of swinging the index.

Hottest tape
Green phrases lean bull, red lean bear. The number is that lexicon.
Account is up 40% this month. Going 3x long QQQ into the close. We only go up from here.
Flow: $2.1B in call premium on NVDA and QQQ in the last 90 minutes. Not quiet tape.
This is euphoria. Everyone is long. Puts are cheap. Hard landing talk is gone. That's the setup.
BTC coiled under 118k. One god candle and the shorts cover into next week. Send it.
