How to read a headline without overreacting

Markets produce far more headlines than meaningful events. Reading news well is mostly about filtering: who says it, what it concerns, and whether the market actually cared.

Start with the source. An official statement, a regulator filing or an exchange announcement carries more weight than a rumour relayed by an anonymous account. Then check which assets the headline really concerns.

Qubo tags each item with a tone (bullish, neutral or bearish) and an impact estimate. The tone is an automatic reading of the wording. It describes the headline, not what the price will do.

Finally, look at the reaction. Many headlines that sound dramatic move nothing. Comparing the timestamp of a headline with the price chart shows whether it coincided with a real move.

In News, pick one headline from the last 24 hours and compare its time with the asset’s chart. Did the price move around that time?
