bitcoin:native gained 24% in August. Its social volume gained just 6%. 📈 Every asset we track finished the month higher, some by double or even triple digits: PUMP +111%, ENA +87%, ZEC +80%. 🪫 Weighted sentiment never left zero through the whole rally, and turned negative again on Aug 26 with price near its highs. 🧭 The largest day followed the US Treasury doubling its bond buybacks, and the record short liquidation that came after it: about $2.7B, roughly 92% shorts. 🔀 A move driven by forced short covering does not need anyone to turn bullish. It only needs bears to be liquidated. Someone said new cycle? The crowd never showed up for it. 🔗 Dive deeper with the free preview of our August Market Report, with two findings in full and nine more in the full version (Pro account required): https://app.santiment.net/insights/read/august-26-market-report-preview-11182?utm_source=x&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=monthly_aug_26&aff=33(Santiment Intelligence)
