✍️ TL;DR: Crowd now expecting prices to soar, market values may hesitate until retail FOMO cools down 📊 Metrics used: Social Trends 🔗 Link to chart: https://app.santiment.net/s/Q-OutqIM?utm_source=x&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=higher_vs_lower_b_061726&aff=3 📊 Sentiment has flipped remarkably fast. Throughout the first two weeks of June, crypto discussions were dominated by calls for prices to go “lower,” reflecting widespread fear and expectations of further downside. Today, the crowd is increasingly calling for prices to move “higher,” fueled by easing geopolitical tensions, Kevin Warsh’s first FOMC meeting, and some strong market momentum the past couple days. ⚠️ One of crypto’s most reliable contrarian signals is the crowd’s tendency to get ahead of itself. Markets generally climb more easily when skepticism remains high and participants are under-positioned. When retail traders start openly expecting higher prices, much of the optimism can already be reflected in market positioning, reducing the fuel available for further gains. That doesn’t necessarily mean the uptrend is over, but it does suggest that continued upside may become more challenging until expectations cool.(Santiment Intelligence)
