The cryptocurrency market sentiment has tumbled down compared with the previous week, as the combined average 7-day market sentiment measure for the top 10 coins by market capitalization has declined for the third week in a row, from 5.17/10 last Monday, to 4.39 today, according to Omenics, a cryptocurrency market sentiment analysis service.
Most top coins remain lurking in the neutral zone with Bitcoin (BTC) lighting the way with the average 7-day Sentscore of 5.1 (was 5.8 last week), followed by Tether (USDT), which was the only top 10 coin whose market sentiment appreciated last week. It went up a 4.7 last week to 4.9 today. The two are followed by Tron (TRX) – it’s Sentscore dropped from 5.4 last Monday, to 4.8 at pixel time.

– 0 to 2.5: very negative
– 2 to 4: somewhat negative zone
– 4 to 6: neutral zone
– 6 to 7.5: somewhat positive territory
– 7.5 to 10: very positive
All of the remaining coins have undergone a severe decline in market sentiment, scoring around 10 to 20 percent less compared with last week. Binance Coin (BNB) has suffered the biggeset drop in its sentiment – it went down by more than 25%, all the way to 3.7 compared with 5 scored last Monday. As of now, it is the only cryptocurrency fallen into the somewhat negative zone. EOS, Stellar (XLM), and Ethereum (ETH) went down heavily also – their score went down approximately 20% and settled near the boundaries of the neutral zone. XRP, Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are on the verge of neutral Sentscore zone, scoring between 4 and 4.5 out of 10.
