Sentiment (ENG)
Sentiment
Sentiment is Anesthezia’s prediction-market module. It allows users to trade based on expectations instead of price. Each market represents a real outcome, and traders take a side by buying YES or NO contracts. When the event resolves, the winning side pays out at full value, and the losing side settles at zero.
Prices represent probability and move dynamically with news, market activity, and social sentiment.
Purpose of Sentiment
This module gives access to a different layer of the market - expectations and crowd psychology.
Users can:
speculate on crypto market outcomes
trade macro and economic events
take positions on sports results
react to political decisions or global news
bet on hype cycles and cultural trends
follow crowd emotion in real time
use it as a hedge against uncertainty
profit from shifting probability instead of price movement
Sentiment is a place where belief is the asset.
How it Works
Each market consists of two outcomes:
YES
the event will happen
NO
the event will not happen
The price of each side reflects market-assigned probability.
Examples:
YES = 0.72 means a 72 percent chance the outcome is expected to occur
NO = 0.28 means a 28 percent chance it does not
A trader buys shares of one side at the current price. If that side wins, it settles at 1 dollar per share. If it loses, it becomes zero.
Trading Flow
1. Selecting a Market
The Sentiment dashboard displays active opportunities. Each card shows:
market title
current probability for YES and NO
countdown timer
trading volume
recent price change and trend
2. Opening a Position
The trader chooses YES or NO and enters an amount. The system calculates how many contracts are purchased.
Example:
Bought YES at 0.60 with 100 dollars
Received 166.66 YES contracts
If YES wins, return = 166.66 dollars
If NO wins, return = 0
3. Closing Before Resolution
Positions can be sold before the event concludes. If probabilities shift in your favor, exiting early allows profit capture without waiting for the final outcome. Early exit can also reduce loss if sentiment turns the opposite way.
What Moves Sentiment Price
Sentiment reacts to information. Price is a reflection of belief, and belief changes fast.
Key drivers:
News & announcements
new regulation, ETF approval talk
Twitter/Social buzz
KOL threads, viral narratives
Market movement
BTC surge ahead of an event
Fundamentals & metrics
updated economic or network data
Sports/Politics shifts
player injury, election debate impact
Culture & hype
memes, viral speculation, media spikes
Growing confidence pushes YES higher and NO lower. Panic or doubt does the opposite.

Best Use Cases
Sentiment works exceptionally well for:
trading uncertainty instead of price action
hedging volatile market conditions
contrarian strategies against emotional crowd moves
positioning early before news confirms
harvesting panic and euphoria
studying how markets react to information
If charts show what happened, Sentiment shows what people believe will happen.
Summary
Sentiment turns market expectations into a tradable asset. Instead of predicting price, traders speculate on belief itself. This is a parallel market layer - emotional, informational, collective.
Where price shows the present, Sentiment reveals the future.
