The Theory Of Contrarian Opinion Applied
To The CONSENSUS® Bullish Sentiment Index

The exclusive weekly CONSENSUS® BULLISH SENTIMENT INDEX was established in 1983 by Consensus, Inc. It is the most complete and accurate measure of contrary opinion available anywhere for 32 individual markets including stock indices, financial instruments, currencies, metals, energy, and agriculture.
The Index is intended as a guide only, to provide

indication

of potential market directions. The theory of contrarian opinion holds that when a predominant number of market analysts are bullish, it is quite likely that the market is approaching an overbought condition, and that a reversal in trend may be imminent.

By the same reasoning, when a predominant number of market analysts are bearish, it is quite likely that the market is approaching an oversold condition, and that a reversal in trend may be forthcoming.

Although CONSENSUS identifies the 75 percent level as the overbought level and 25 percent as oversold, these points should be interpreted not as absolute reversal points, but rather as approximate levels of potential market shifts. It is also important to note the trends in the data to get a fuller sense of possible market directions indicated.

To compile the Index, CONSENSUS draws from an extensive mix of both brokerage house analysts and independent advisory services, to provide the strongest possible database. The data covers a broad spectrum of approaches to the market, including the fundamental, technical, and cyclical: CONSENSUS makes no attempt to discern to which of these approaches traders may be the most responsive.

CONSENSUS considers only opinions which have been committed to publication and therefore have an influence on the trading public, and does not consider opinions which brokers or advisors may hold but do not disclose publicly.
