Retail Mood Sours as Crypto Selloff Sparks Short-Term Bottom Signals for BTC, ETH, XRP
Social sentiment around the major cryptocurrencies has deteriorated markedly in recent days, according to Santiment, with retail traders turning noticeably defensive while prices continue to grind lower. The mood shift reflects heightened worry among smaller holders and a pickup in negative commentary across social channels, a dynamic that can amplify volatility and deepen pullbacks. Despite the souring sentiment, analysts point to short-term bottom signals appearing for BTC, ETH and XRP — a combination of on-chain indicators and momentum readings suggesting selling pressure may be easing. That doesn’t rule out further chops; the market can still test lower levels before a sustainable rebound. Traders should watch confirmation of follow-through buying and volatility metrics before committing, as a short-term bounce could offer entry points if supported by renewed volume and calmer retail sentiment.
