Data shows the Bitcoin Social Dominance has spiked to a 4-month high, something that has tended to be a reversal signal for the market.

Social Media Is Shifting Attention To Bitcoin

According to data from analytics firm Santiment, social media talk has recently become more concentrated on Bitcoin. The indicator of relevance here is the “Social Dominance,” which measures the percentage of cryptocurrency-related discussions on social media that a given asset accounts for.

The metric gauges social media talk using the Social Volume indicator, which tracks the total number of posts/threads/comments that contain unique mentions of the coin. To give a relative measure, the Social Dominance takes the Social Volume of the asset and compares it against the combined Social Volume of the top 100 digital assets.

Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the Social Dominance for Bitcoin and a few major altcoins over the last few months:

As shown in the graph above, Bitcoin Social Dominance spiked on Friday as the cryptocurrency’s price crashed. At the peak of this surge, 36.4% of all cryptocurrency-related discussions involved BTC. This was the highest that the metric had been since July 13th, when its value touched a high of 37.6%. Interestingly, this previous spike coincided with a top for the asset.

Historically, digital assets have tended to move in a way that goes contrary to the expectations of the majority, so too much excitement or FUD among the retail social media crowd can act as a reversal signal.

The July high in Social Dominance signaled FOMO among the traders, which could be why Bitcoin’s bullish momentum paused then. Another example of the pattern came in August, when this time Ethereum saw a surge in its Social Dominance, reaching a peak value of 19.1%. Alongside this market excitement, BTC and others hit a top again.

Given that the latest spike in the indicator has come with a market crash, it’s possible that the high amount of discussions points to panic among the investors. “Though not a guaranteed crypto bottom signal, probabilities of a market reversal greatly increases when social dominance for Bitcoin surges,” explained the analytics firm.

The Social Dominance only contains information about social media platforms. One useful way of gauging the sentiment in the sector as a whole is through Alternative‘s Fear & Greed Index, which takes into account several factors, including social media data itself.

During the weekend, the Fear & Greed Index fell to a value of just 10, indicating a strong extreme fear sentiment among Bitcoin investors. The last time the index went this low was in February, and the last time it was lower was all the way back during the 2022 bear market.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $95,300, down over 10% in the last week.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
