The problem

Many financial data platforms rely heavily on sentiment analysis derived from news articles, social media, and other textual sources. While valuable, purely qualitative sentiment can sometimes lag or misinterpret market dynamics that are driven by pure trading activity. A stock or crypto asset might experience an unusual volume spike *before* any major news breaks or sentiment shifts are widely captured in text, leading to missed opportunities or delayed reactions for users.

Integrating real-time quantitative signals like volume anomalies into sentiment models adds a critical dimension, helping to validate, precede, or contradict qualitative findings. Building this quantitative data pipeline in-house is complex and resource-intensive.

How Surge solves it

Combine textual sentiment with real-time quantitative volume spike alerts for a more holistic market view.

Identify market movements that precede or occur independently of news-driven sentiment shifts.

Provide your users with a richer, more actionable understanding of market dynamics beyond just headlines.
