What does the FOMO rank represent?

The FOMO rank measures the intensity of social media mentions and discussion volume across various platforms, indicating where market attention is currently concentrated.

Why is there a gap between volume and FOMO?

A gap exists when a ticker receives high social media attention (FOMO) without necessarily being among the highest volume-traded stocks of the day, suggesting interest may be driven by news or sentiment rather than pure trading activity.
