While Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has been more stable in recent days, investor confidence in the cryptocurrency market is reportedly on the rise again.
At this point, cryptocurrency data analytics platform Santiment noted that while overall investor sentiment in the market is increasing, $XRP and Ethereum recorded their highest levels of “FOMO” (fear of missing out) in the last five weeks.
According to the latest data from Santiment, $ETH And $XRP Investors have become significantly more optimistic. This led to $ETH And $XRP reaching their highest FOMO levels in the last five weeks.
According to the data, $XRP reached its highest FOMO level with 3.02 bullish comments for every bearish comment, while Ethereum was in the soft FOMO zone with a ratio of 2.31. In contrast, Bitcoin’s ratio of 1.40 indicates a more balanced and neutral investor sentiment.
This change in investor sentiment, at a time when prices are struggling to regain momentum, raises the possibility that the upward trend has outpaced market performance.
At this point, Santiment analysts note that the cryptocurrency market is moving in the opposite direction to investors’ expectations. They emphasize that the growing optimism towards $ETH And $XRP could be a counter-signal for the price.
The analysis notes that historically, short-term corrections can occur during periods when investors have excessively bullish expectations, and suggests that high optimism in $XRP and Ethereum could increase downside risks or limit the pace of their upside in the near term.
In contrast, the balanced and neutral investor sentiment towards Bitcoin is considered healthier in terms of price. Indeed, according to Santiment analysts, strong rebounds can occur when investors are not yet fully focused on bullish expectations.
