Social media is buzzing with talk of buying Bitcoin after its recent price drop. Let’s dive into the details.
Social Sentiment and Bitcoin
A cryptocurrency analytics firm, Santiment, analyzed social media chatter following the latest Bitcoin price dip. They looked at “Social Volume,” which basically measures how much people are talking about Bitcoin on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Instead of counting individual mentions (to avoid skewed results from viral posts), they counted the number of posts mentioning Bitcoin.
To gauge investor sentiment, Santiment filtered this data, focusing on posts containing words related to “buying” and “selling.”

The key difference seems to be that these buying signals appeared after
What This Means
The current spike in “buy” mentions might lead to another price increase, mirroring past trends. However, it’s important to remember that intense market excitement and a renewed Bitcoin uptrend could still trigger the negative effects of FOMO. So, it’s worth keeping an eye on social sentiment.
