While the Sentscores dropped for all top ten coins a week ago, seven are in red this time around, led by BCH, Binance Coin (BNB) and Cardano (ADA). More importantly, however, coins that had inhabited the negative zone last week, are back to the neutral zone – except BCH, but it too saw a rise in its score from 3.4 to 3.7/10. On the other hand, while Bitcoin got 5.2 and Tether 5.1, the rest are scored between 4.1 and 4.5.

– 0 to 2.5: very negative
– 2 to 4: somewhat negative zone
– 4 to 6: Neutral zone
– 6 to 7.5: somewhat positive zone
– 7.5 to 10: very positive
As said, only three coins saw a rise in their scores: Tether (USDT) is the absolute winner, with 18.9% rise, and it’s followed by BTC with 3.2% and XRP with 2%.Tether’s quite strong in technicals, social and news (6, 5.8, and 5.5, respectively), but its buzz is 4.3 and fundamentals only 3.3. BTC has a high score of 9.3 in fundamentals, while its lowest is 2.4 in technicals. When it comes to XRP, its strongest aspect is news with a score of 5.4, but its weakest is technicals with 2.8.

While BCH has 5 in news and 4.7 in social, it got 3.1 in buzz, 2.8 in fundamentals and 2.4 in technicals. BNB got 5.4 in fundamentals, but only 2.5 in technicals.
