Santiment said bullish price calls have cooled across crypto social channels. It reported that calls for Bitcoin to reach $150,000 to $200,000, and even $50,000 to $100,000, have “dried up.” Santiment linked the shift to fewer hype-driven posts and weaker retail optimism, which can reduce short-term momentum narratives.
Santiment also said its social sentiment measure has moved from extreme bearishness toward neutral territory. It said neutral sentiment can reduce clarity for short-term positioning because traders receive mixed signals. Santiment also flagged softer network activity and described declines in indicators such as transaction volume, active addresses, and network growth.
Other gauges still show caution. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has printed readings near 8, which falls in “Extreme Fear.” The combination of fading upside calls and extreme fear readings highlights the gap between reduced retail optimism and ongoing risk sensitivity.
