One number.
The whole PSX market.
The Market Sentiment Gauge gives you a composite -100 to +100 score for the entire PSX market — updated every 2 minutes during trading hours from 20 blue-chip KSE-100 stocks.
Sentiment score scale
+61 to +100
Broad market rally — most blue chips advancing on strong volume.

More stocks advancing than declining — positive market breadth.
-20 to +20
Mixed market — no clear direction, wait for a clear signal.
-21 to -60
More stocks declining — risk-off environment, caution warranted.
-61 to -100
Broad market selloff — most blue chips under pressure.
How the score is calculated
Three weighted data sources combine into one composite reading.
Real-time market quotes
Live price change % from 20 blue-chip stocks are weighted by their contribution to the KSE-100. This is the dominant component — it reflects what the market is doing right now.
Daily price movements (DB)
Daily open-to-current price change from our database for a broader set of tracked stocks, filling in any gaps in the real-time feed.
3-day trend smoothing
A 3-day exponential moving average of the sentiment score is blended in to reduce noise and prevent single-day spikes from distorting the reading.
The 20-stock blue-chip basket
These KSE-100 heavyweights collectively represent the health of the broader PSX market.
How to use the sentiment gauge
The sentiment gauge tells you whether the overall market tide is with you or against you. Trading against a strongly bearish market is harder — even good stocks get pulled down. Use the gauge to decide whether to be aggressive, neutral, or defensive with your positions.
