Forecast Movement measures how much expectations moved, not whether they moved towards any particular outcome. Why there is no single score, why what we can see is reported separately.
The last 24 hours, without the explanations
The largest movements across forecasts, attention, discussion sentiment and reporting in the last 24 hours, each compared with how much that topic usually moves.

81 changes were compared. Not shown: 51 with nothing to compare against, 29 within their usual range.
No relationships between signals were detected in this window. A detection needs two layers to have moved measurably over the same topic.
No topic currently shows a material difference between how much is being published about it and how much it is being discussed. A comparison needs both sides: a topic only one of them has anything to say about is not a disagreement.
How well this site can currently see. None of this is a reading of the world, and none of it changes the figures above.
