Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Short interest is considered a sentiment indicator because it measures the number of investors who are betting against a particular stock. If short interest is high, it suggests that there is a lot of negative sentiment surrounding that stock. The other choices are technical indicators or measures of investor behavior, but they do not directly measure sentiment.
