What we track for BTC

Every hour, SentimentFX collects the latest Bitcoin news from major financial publishers and RSS feeds, then scores each headline using FinBERT — a transformer model fine-tuned on financial text. The output is a sentiment score between -1 (very bearish) and +1 (very bullish), and we plot the daily average against BTC price so you can see how news flow moves with the market.

Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market cap and the de-facto reserve asset of the crypto market, which makes BTC an especially useful ticker for sentiment-driven analysis. Our pipeline pulls from CoinTelegraph, CoinDesk, Decrypt, Blockworks, BeInCrypto and Reddit alongside GNews search results, deduplicates by URL, and only stores headlines whose title actually mentions BTC or a recognised alias.

Sentiment vs price correlation

The dashboard plots BTC sentiment against price on a single chart, with a rolling 180-day correlation analysis that reports Pearson r, p-value, a 95% confidence interval and a plain-English strength label (strong / weak / inconclusive). You can also pull the raw correlation via the public API endpoint /v1/correlation/BTC.

Developer access

All BTC sentiment, price and correlation data is available via the SentimentFX REST API. Generate a key on the developer portal, then call GET /v1/sentiment/BTC with an X-API-Key header. Free tier included, metered billing beyond that.

BTC sentiment FAQ

How is BTC sentiment calculated?
SentimentFX scrapes Bitcoin news headlines from major financial outlets every hour and scores each one with FinBERT, a finance-tuned transformer model. The score is the model's positive probability minus negative probability, giving a value between -1 (very bearish) and +1 (very bullish).
How often is BTC sentiment data updated?
The scraper runs every hour, pulling new BTC headlines from GNews and crypto-specific RSS feeds (CoinTelegraph, CoinDesk, Decrypt and others). New sentiment scores are usually live within 1–2 minutes of scrape completion.
Can I correlate BTC sentiment with its price?
Yes — the SentimentFX dashboard plots BTC sentiment against price on the same chart, and the correlation endpoint returns a Pearson r value, 95% confidence interval and strength label over a rolling 180-day window. You can also pull this via the public REST API at developers.sentimentfx.org.
Is BTC sentiment data available via API?
Yes. The SentimentFX public API exposes /v1/sentiment/BTC, /v1/summary/BTC, /v1/prices/BTC and /v1/correlation/BTC endpoints. Authentication is via X-API-Key header. See the developer portal for full reference.
