Crypto market sentiment has increased for the fourth week in a row, arriving at a point just below the positive zone. The average 7-day moving crypto market sentiment score (sentscore) for ten major coins is 5.94 today, while last week it stood at 5.85, according to the market sentiment analysis service Omenics. Over half of this list – six coins to be precise – are in the positive zone, but the overall score seems to be dragged down by one coin with a massive drop.
Seven out of the ten coins have gone up over the past week. XRP saw the highest increase of its sentscore, 10.9%. Tether (USDT) is next in line with 7.6%, while bitcoin (BTC) follows this with nearly 6%. Other green coins are chainlink (LINK), cardano (ADA), polkadot (DOT), and ethereum (ETH), respectively – whose sentscores went up between 1.7% and 4.3%.
Among the three that have dropped over the past week, USD coin (USDC) leads with over 15% decline. Binance coin (BNB) and uniswap (UNI) fell 2.5% and 1.2%, respectively.
Notably, this massive drop in USDC’s sentsore sent it back from the neutral threshold of 5, to the score of 4.2, hence affecting the overall sentscore for the top 10 coins. It is the only top 10 coin still below the score of 5, while the remaining three (besides those in the positive zone) stand in the 5.5-5.7 territory.
Sentiment change among the top 10 coins*:
Interpreting the sentscore’s scale:
– 0 to 2.5: very negative
– 2 to 3.9: somewhat negative zone
– 4 to 5.9: neutral zone
– 6 to 7.49: somewhat positive zone
– 7.5 to 10: very positive zone.
Meanwhile, the 24-hour sentscore for these top ten coins has gone out of the positive zone which it had entered last week, currently standing just below it at 5.99, compared to last Monday’s 6.03. Four coins’ sentscores are down: ETH, LINK, ADA, and XRP. Meanwhile, while USDC is slightly up (0.6%), but it is currently in the negative zone with a score of 3.8. BNB has the highest rise of 5.1%, followed by BTC’s 4.1%, while the lowest belongs to DOT, with just 0.1%, meaning it remains unchanged. Five coins are in the positive zone (BTC, ETH, LINK, DOT, and ADA), and four are in the 5.6-5.9 range.
