- The report introduces the "Huaxin Market Sentiment Temperature Indicator," which is a quantitative model designed to measure market sentiment. It is constructed using six dimensions: index price changes, trading volume, number of rising and falling stocks, KDJ indicator, northbound capital flows, and margin trading data.
