Ethereum Leads the Crypto Market Sentiment
The average 7-day moving crypto market sentiment score for 10 major coins rose from 5.03 last week to 5.15 today, shows the market sentiment analysis service Omenics, while ethereum (ETH) became the only coin with a somewhat positive sentscore.
After the entire market sentiment declined last week, it seems like the sentiment surrounding the top cryptoassets might be ripe for a turnaround. Most of the assets have improved their sentiment with the exception of the most popular stablecoin, tether (USDT), whose sentiment dropped by 15% from 5.2 to 4.5, possibly driven by reports of forthcoming regulatory scrutiny in the US. Despite that, USDT remains in the neutral zone. Interestingly, its contender, the second-biggest stablecoin by market capitalization, USD coin (USDC), upped its social sentiment by 6% and is now in the middle of the neutral zone with a score of 5.
On the positive side, ETH continues to lead the crypto market in terms of sentiment, which increased by 6% during the past week and is now in the only coin in the positive zone with a sentscore of 6.2. At the same time, cardano (ADA) has improved its market sentiment by most during the last seven days, as it has risen from neutral 5.1 to 5.7 this week – a 10% increase. Binance Coin (BNB) was the second-best, as it recorded a 9% sentiment increase but remains in a neutral zone with a relatively low sentscore of 4.8.
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.
Looking at the daily situation, it is XRP that’s leading the market sentiment-wise today. Its 24-hour sentscore is up by 13% but still remains in the neutral zone with an overall score of 4.8. The weekly leaders, ETH and ADA are both somewhat positive today, as they score 6.4 and 6, respectively. Bitcoin (BTC) sits on the verge of the positive side, too, with a daily sentscore of 5.9. This Monday is not a good day for chainlink (LINK) though, as it lost 7% of its weekend sentiment and is currently on the verge of a somewhat negative zone with 4.1.

On the opposite side of the spectrum we find omiseGo (OMG) and qtum (QTUM) tokens.
