The average 7-day moving crypto market sentiment score (sentscore) for ten major cryptoassets went up from 4.9 recorded seven days ago to 5.05 – back at the level seen two weeks ago, according to the market sentiment analysis service Omenics. Additionally, there is a single coin in the positive zone over the past week – but four in the negative zone over the past 24 hours.

Overall, the week has been green for the first 10 coins on the list, with six of them seeing a rise in their respective scores – two even double digits. These are cardano (ADA)‘s 16% and tether (USDT)‘s 13%, making them the week’s winners. While bitcoin (BTC)‘s sentscore went up almost 6% over the past seven days, followed by binance coin (BNB)‘s 5%, ethereum (ETH) and polkadot (DOT) saw their scores rise 3%.

When it comes to the red coins, the highest decrease is that of crypto.com (CRO), having dropped nearly 10%. It’s followed by USD coin (USDC)‘s almost 7%, XRP‘s 3%, and cosmos (ATOM)‘s also almost 3%.

That said, ATOM is the only coin in the positive zone this week, standing on the verge of it with a score of 6. The majority of other coins stand between USDC’s 5 and BTC’s 5.9, while XRP, CRO, and BNB sit below the score of 5 – but not dipping into the negative zone.

Sentiment change among the top 10 coins*:
Interpreting the sentscore’s scale:
– 0 to 2.5: very negative
– 2 to 3.9: somewhat negative zone
– 4 to 5.9: neutral zone
– 6 to 7.49: somewhat positive zone
– 7.5 to 10: very positive zone.
