Abstract : This study considers the impact of investor sentiment on stock market prices, it is when something beyond traditional economic factors, such as emotions or perceptions that play dominating role in driving psychological and real pricing. This behaviour in investor sentiment often leads to irrational decision making, always influenced by news, social media and the movements of markets. This will make stocks price more volatile. Through sentiment analysis, historical stock data and behavioural finance models the study examines times when there were significant movements in the market. These trends suggest that happy days can cause major prices to rise (along with the sun) and bad news can punch holes in a report even if business hasn't really looked any worse. The regulators and the investors should understand that sentiment can improve the efficiency of the stock price-prediction algorithms as well as bring anomalies to light in the market. The study of market sentiment and its effect on the stock price. In the given paper of research, it is easy to notice the impact of interaction between investor sentiment and stock price.
