Santiment flags risk as crypto bullish talk spikes while BTC holds $80K

The increase in bullish versus bearish crypto commentary on social media has Santiment warning that the recent crypto market rally may be short-lived.

Crypto bullish chatter on social media has surged to levels that, according to crypto sentiment platform Santiment, could signal the current market uptrend may be short-lived.

Santiment said the ratio of bullish to bearish crypto-related comments on social media is currently around 1.5 to 1, based on a sample of active crypto accounts tracked across multiple platforms. It comes as Bitcoin (BTC) has increased 11.50% over the past 30 days, trading at $80,628 at the time of publication, according to CoinMarketCap.
