Rapid Increase in Speculative Crypto Trading Among Retail Investors, as Per Discussions Relating to Memecoins Peak This Year, Cautions Santiment
Updated Article:
- Crypto Trading: From Rational to Gambling MentalityDitching the logical approach, crypto traders are embracing a risky and emotional mindset, according to the analytics firm Santiment. In their latest report, they highlight the comeback of meme coin discussions, despite recent high-profile collapses.
"The crypto trading landscape is becoming increasingly volatile, with traders showing a tendency to play it fast and loose, rather than making calculated investments. The rise in memecoin-related discussions on social media underscores this shifting mentality.
It's a dangerous game, as traders leap into the world of high-risk tokens, driven by a herd mentality, rather than critical analysis. This is evident in the creeping uptrend in social media volume for top market cap meme coins, while layer-1s and layer-2s see a decline."
Santiment warns that a correction in the crypto market is likely, given the rise in discussions around altcoins, altseasons, and bull markets. Their advice is to tread carefully, as retailers eagerly buy every minor dip, mirroring the hype in the crypto world.
"Historically, the best times to invest in altcoins have been when the crowd's interest is at a low, but at the moment, with terms like 'altcoin,' 'altseason,' and 'bull cycle' being bandied about, caution is advised. When the crowd's excitement peaks, it often suggests that prices are nearing a limit."
