Next week is normally a very positive week, but the Sentiment data is sending out warnings about the current Risk/Reward level. It's getting much higher.... Traders should avoid leverage if long based on my data and I use Sentiment Trader.

Good Luck on your trade!
There is a long history of using anecdotal "evidence" as a contrary indicator. Through the decades, traders have used the enthusiasm of shoeshine boys, taxi cab drivers, and cocktail party conversations as their basis that sentiment had reached an extreme.
It can still be useful. Our family Christmas party in 2017 was dominated by talk of bitcoin. This coming from people who had never bought a share of stock in their life, much less anything more exotic. A brother-in-law even pulled me aside to conspiratorially tell me about an ICO opportunity he could get me in on. That was sign enough for me.

But this can go too far. It can get to the point where a knee-jerk contrarian sees an extreme in every whisper.
And that's dangerous.
A favorite punching bag is the magazine indicator. If we see a bull on the cover - sell! Sorry, but it's just not that easy.
There is something to this, but it's subtle. The Economist, to their credit, posted a study a couple years ago which confirmed that their cover stories did, indeed, present contrarian investment opportunities. It wasn't a slam-dunk, but an investor did better buy buying negative cover stories and selling positive ones over the next year.
This week, the Barron's cover seems disturbing for bulls, with "Is The Bull Unstoppable" in big, bold letters right there for everyone to see.

Some magazine covers can be good contrary indicators. The Economist even admits it. Barron's is not one of them. @barronsonline
