Bitcoin Hype Remains Low Even After $63,000 Surge: Green Sign For Rally?

Data shows the social media users have yet to show excessive hype around the latest Bitcoin rally, a sign that could be positive for its sustainability. Bitcoin Sentiment Ratio Has Spiked, But Value Still Not Too High According to data from the analytics firm Santiment, Bitcoin Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) has remained low through the latest rally. The indicator of relevance here is the “Positive Sentiment vs. Negative Sentiment Ratio,” which, as its name suggests, measures the ratio between the positive and negative comments around BTC being made on the major social media platforms. Related Reading: These Altcoins Are Seeing High Whale Interest After Fed Rate Cut To separate the posts/threads/messages on these platforms between positive and negative, Santiment’s indicator uses a machine-learning model. When the value of this metric is greater than 1, it means the social media users are making more posts expressing a positive sentiment than a negative one. On the other hand, it being under 1 suggests bearish messages are the norm on these platforms. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Positive Sentiment vs. Negative Sentiment Ratio over the last few months: As the above graph shows, this Bitcoin indicator has observed an uplift alongside the latest recovery run in the cryptocurrency’s price. This rally has come as the US Federal Reserve has announced an interest rate cut. The indicator is currently decently above the neutral mark, meaning that positive posts notably outweigh the negative ones. Historically, the asset has tended to move in a direction opposite to what the crowd is expecting, with the probability of the contrary move going up the stronger this expectation becomes. A very bullish market can be a warning sign for the BTC price. Despite the recent surge in sentiment, FOMO is not yet at a level where it would be a problem. The chart shows that the previous spikes in the indicator that occurred around the tops for Bitcoin were of a significantly large scale. The last few months have also seen the indicator generally maintain a positive level, so the metric’s current value isn’t even that out of place when compared to the norm. “Markets can roll until we see a bullish sentiment spike similar to what we saw during the April 19th and May 21st tops,” notes the analytics firm. If FOMO does end up spiking to high levels in the coming days, BTC could encounter another top.

Solana (SOL) Surges 18%, But Watch Out For Crowd FOMO

Solana has been showing a breakout over the last few days, but data shows crowd FOMO is rising, which could be a bad sign for the rally. Solana Social Volume Has Shot Up Alongside The Rally According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the SOL social volume has observed a sharp increase following the recent recovery of cryptocurrency. The “Social Volume” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the degree of discussion that any given asset receives on the major social media platforms. Related Reading: Retail Losing Interest In Bitcoin? Volume Plunges 30% This metric makes this measurement by counting up the unique number of posts/threads/messages, making at least one mention of the cryptocurrency. The indicator doesn’t simply count up the mentions themselves because sometimes a large number of mentions can crop up within a couple of posts, while at the same time, the discussion could be more or less dead on the rest of social media. The high mentions would suggest a lot of discussion in this case, but in reality, the talk is all contained within niche circles. By measuring the number of posts, the Social Volume can tell us about the trend across social media. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Solana Social Volume over the past week or so: As is visible in the above graph, the Solana Social Volume has registered some rapid growth recently. This would imply that the intensity of discussions related to the asset has suddenly spiked. The driver behind this increase in the indicator is likely to be the rally that the coin’s price has enjoyed recently. In this new surge, SOL has recovered from a low of around $124 to the current $146 mark, meaning it has seen returns of almost 18% in just a few days. The Social Volume spiking alongside a rally isn’t unusual, as social media users find sharp price action exciting, so they participate in more discussions than normal. However, the scale of the spike that the metric has seen this time may be worth noting. Historically, the asset’s price has tended to move against the majority’s expectations, so too much excitement too suddenly can be a bearish sign for the cryptocurrency. In the same chart, Santiment has attached the Social Volume for Avalanche (AVAX) data, which has also witnessed a recovery run. It would appear that, unlike the Solana surge, few are paying attention to Avalanche’s rally, as the indicator’s value has remained relatively low. Related Reading: Bitcoin Near Euphoria Boundary: What Happens After A Breach? Therefore, AVAX’s rally could be more likely to be sustainable than SOL’s, as it has been seeing much less FOMO, at least according to the Social Volume. SOL Price Solana had broken past the $151 level yesterday, but the asset has since seen a minor pullback to $146. It’s currently unclear if this means that the negative effect of FOMO is already kicking in for SOL. Featured image from Shutterstock.com, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com

Analyst Says $2 XRP Price Is Low As It Still Isnt Activated

Although the XRP price is hovering above $2, a crypto analyst contends that this level is still low. Comparing XRPs current price action to its explosive rally in 2017, the analyst argues that the market has not recognized the full scope of the cryptocurrencys evolving fundamentals.  XRP Price At $2.2 Is Still Undervalued  Pumpius, a crypto analyst on X (formerly Twitter), firmly believes that the XRP price is poised for a stronger rally, arguing that a $2.21 target remains significantly undervalued. The market expert’s analysis starkly compares the current market positioning with its historic rally in 2017.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Shatters XRP Price Bullishness, Predicts Massive Crash To This Support Level Back in 2017, the altcoin skyrocketed from a low price of $0.005 to a staggering all-time high of $3.84, marking its most historic price rally. At its peak, XRP briefly overtook Ethereums market cap, securing the position of the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world, just behind Bitcoin.  During this historic rally, the XRP price soared by an astonishing 64,000%, reflecting a monumental gain despite lacking real-world use cases, institutional backing, or regulatory clarity. According to Pumpius, this surge was purely driven by retail Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO), with no stablecoins, IPOs, or financial infrastructure supporting the cryptocurrencys rapid ascent.  Fast-forward to today, and the landscape surrounding XRP has evolved significantly. Ripple Labs, an enterprise blockchain company and the largest holder of XRP, has launched its stablecoin, RLUSD, which indirectly strengthens XRPs position in the digital currency space. The company has also secured prime brokerages and regulatory clarity from the US, expanding Ripples market reach and creating a stable environment for XRPs growth.  With an IPO allegedly in the pipeline, the infrastructure supporting XRP is more robust than ever, far exceeding the conditions seen in 2017. However, despite these developments and milestones, the altcoin’s price has yet to revisit its former all-time high and continues to trade above $2. As a result, Pumpius claims that the cryptocurrency has still not been activated, suggesting that it has not fully realized its potential or experienced the level of growth expected of it.  Why This Time Could Be Different Unlike in 2017, the potential for XRP is no longer based on hype alone. Pumpiuss analysis estimates that if XRP were to repeat its historical 64,000% rally, starting from $2.21, its price could reach $1,414.40.  Related Reading: Is The XRP Price Rally Over At $2.22? New Developments Suggest Major Pump Is Coming While this target is purely speculative, the number underscores the massive upside that could follow if institutional capital and real-world adoption combine with retail momentum. Pumpiuss commentary also includes a conspiracy narrative, alleging that powerful, unknown entities have worked behind the scenes to suppress XRPs rise. According to this theory, the analyst claims that the US SECs lawsuit against Ripple wasnt just about compliance but a calculated move to delay adoption and shake out retail momentum. The underlying message is that XRPs disruptive potential posed an early threat, allegedly leading to attempts to delay its growth and prevent widespread accumulation before institutions were ready to enter the market.

Bitcoin Back Above $63,000: Will FOMO Fuel Another Rally Or Lead To A Bust?

The Bitcoin price made a strong comeback on Friday after witnessing a significant amount of bearish pressure throughout the past week. On Wednesday, May 1, the premier cryptocurrency fell below the $60,000 mark for the first time in almost two months. On Friday, May 3, the price of BTC recovered above the $60,000 level, going as high as $63,000 in the past day. However, the question is – can the Bitcoin price enjoy a sustained rally following this latest resurgence? How Long Will The BTC Price Rally Last? In a recent post on the X platform, Santiment pointed to a shift in investors position and sentiment on the Bitcoin price following the recent surge above $62,000. According to the on-chain analytics site, traders on the Binance platform are going from liquidated shorts to longs after the latest price increase. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Stands Strong: Over 650K Wallet Addresses Still Profitable Amid Recent Price Drop While this shift in sentiment might signal renewed optimism in the premier cryptocurrency, Santiment sounded a warning bell for enthusiasts watching the Bitcoin price and looking to get into the market. The blockchain firm said in its post:  For the rally to continue, we don’t want to see FOMO rising too much higher than what it appears to be now. Source: Santiment/X FOMO, or fear of missing out, is a phenomenon where investors hastily purchase in-demand assets out of fear of missing out on potential gains. While it can drive the asset to a higher price in the short term, excessive FOMO often results in unsustainable bullish trends and subsequent downturns. What’s more, crypto prices tend to move in the opposite direction of the crowds expectations. Hence, if the majority of traders are betting on the Bitcoin price to rise, there is a great likelihood that the cryptocurrencys value will experience a drop. Behind The Bitcoin Price Surge As of this writing, the Bitcoin price stands at around $62,871, reflecting a substantial 6% increase in the last 24 hours. Although the catalyst for this latest Bitcoin rally remains unclear, on-chain data shows that recent whale activity might have triggered the bullish momentum. Related Reading: Crypto Expert Turns Bullish On Bitcoin, Predicts Quantitative Easing Will Begin Soon In a recent post on X, CryptoQuant CEO and founder Ki Young Ju revealed that Bitcoin whales acquired 47,000 BTC in a single day.

Will Bitcoin Break $74,000 Driven By TradFi FOMO?

Willy Woo, an on-chain analyst, believes the Bitcoin upswing is far from over. Citing the development in the Bitcoin Macro Oscillator and the possibility of traditional finance jumping on the bandwagon (FOMO), the odds of BTC rallying in at least two strong legs up in the coming session could not be discounted.  On-Chain Data Signals More Upside For Bitcoin In a post on X, Woo remains confident about what lies ahead for the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency. Based on on-chain development, there are indicators that the coin may firmly push higher, breaking above the current lull. Related Reading: AI Tokens Fetch.AI, AGIX, OCEAN Talk Merger, Surge Double Digits Bitcoin remains mostly range-bound when writing, trading within a tight zone capped by $73,800 on the upper end and $69,000 as immediate support. Even with analysts being confident of what lies ahead, the coin has failed to overcome strong selling momentum from sellers to breach all-time highs in a buy-trend continuation. From how the coin is set up, the current sideways movement may be accumulation or distribution, depending on the breakout direction. For instance, any upswing above $72,400 might spur demand, lifting the coin towards $73,800. Conversely, losses below $69,000 and the middle BB might see BTC slump to March 5 lows or even lower. Will TradFi FOMO And Short Squeeze Lift BTC? Even with the slowdown in upside momentum, Woo says there is strong potential for “another solid leg up.” The analyst also added that there could be two surges if TradFi investors “FOMO” into Bitcoin. In the 2017 bull run, the rally to $20,000 was primarily due to retailers jumping in and FOMOing on the coin.  With spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) available in the United States, speculation is that more institutions and high-net-worth individuals are buying the coin. If BTC rips higher, breaking $74,000, more inflow will likely be into the multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs, fueling demand. Related Reading: Litecoin ETF Rumors Fuel 10% Surge As Institutions Hint At Interest This bullish outlook comes when other analysts expect Bitcoin to surge in the sessions ahead. In a post on X, one analyst says the incoming short squeeze will likely propel the coin above March highs. Whenever a short squeeze happens, prices rise, forcing sellers to buy back at higher prices, accelerating the uptrend. The assessment is behind a record-breaking gap between institutional investors betting on price increases and hedge funds selling the coin.  Feature image from DALLE, chart from TradingView
