The crypto markets are racing these days despite the massive volatility that we have been witnessing lately. Check out the latest reports about the prices revealed by the analytics firm Santiment.

In a new blog post, they note that the social sentiment around Bitcoin this week crashed to the lowest point since back in October 2020.

The business said that its weighted sentiment tracker analyzes the positive and negative commentary surrounding a crypto asset.

BTC’s price surge happened “immediately” after crossing that low point in terms of sentiment, according to Santiment. At the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading in the red and the king coin is priced at $43,307.

Trader money was also following suit, according to the same firm.

“Exchange contract perpetual funding rates had been skewing negative for much of the past 10 days even prior to the war becoming official. This indicated that traders were shorting the markets more than longing.”

The notes continued and revealed the following:

“Those who were betting for Bitcoin’s price to drop were caught off guard, and many were liquidated Monday.”

Volatility to continue

According to Santiment, the massive volatility in the crypto space is bound to continue amidst geopolitical tensions.

The firm also warns that Bitcoin’s current correlation with the S&P 500 is a “concern.”

“Any breakout away from this kind of correlation, which today was a very good early sign, is excellent as a signal for a continued breakout for BTC and the rest of crypto.”
