Sentiment?

Hello everyone,
I am new to this particular forum.

One of the main reasons why i find myself posting on this forum is that it would seem that "sentiment" has become an increasingly popular buzzword when discussing financial markets, and especially the currency markets.

What does "sentiment" in the markets mean to you? Is it just describing the general expectations of the market in terms of peoples emotions? Or does it mean something different?

Also, how can we use "sentiment" to trade? Now would seem like a good idea to understand sentiment a little more, as in trading, you can never know to much and never will get close to knowing enough!

Thanks

Bertie
