The crypto market sentiment measure, SentScore this Monday has risen to 5.66, coming closer to the positive zone comparing to last Monday’s 5.36, according to Omenics , a crypto market sentiment analysis service.
Just like last week, most coins are within the neutral zone, except for two. For the third week in a row, we have a change in the second coin to stand with Bitcoin in the positive zone. This week, it’s Litecoin, with 6.3. Last week it was EOS with a Sentscore of 6, now dropping just below the line, at 5.9. The week before that, it was Ethereum next to BTC with 6.3, now being at 5.8.

It has been going back and forth between 7.1 and 7.3 for four consecutive Mondays now. Tether remains as the coin with the lowest, unchanged score of 4.2 and is the only one in the 4-4.9 score range.
