With the markets becoming a little more volatile over the last few days, individual investors have grown slightly more cautious. According to this week’s sentiment survey from AAII, bullish sentiment dropped from 38.6% down to 35.0%, breaking a three-week streak of increases in the process. One silver lining is that in the most recent uptick in optimism, bullish sentiment made a higher high, so things are trending in the right direction at least.

Bearish sentiment saw a slight uptick this week, but at just 26.4% remains relatively low.
