- Sentiment level plummets 6.6% and takes a significant downward turn.
- Bitcoin exhibits signs of recovering market share in the short term.
- ETH/USD points to the $340 price level as key support as its immediate target.
The consolidation process initiated at the end of last week is continuing, and the euphoric feeling that dominated the market is starting to cool down.
The crypto market is susceptible to sentiment levels since there is no information about projects that is easy to understand by neophytes.
Very few of the people who have capital invested in cryptocurrencies have a deep understanding of the technology and the implications it can have for the future value of a project.
The references are the headlines, often filled with "Bumps", "Pumps" and other emotional headlines.
Technical analysis is the primary reference for the general public, and it is not an easy field of knowledge either.
This market profile is why we can now expect a significant correction in the market's mood, such as the one suffered today by the sentiment indicator published by the site alternative.me, which plummeted 6.6% to the 75 levels and with a possible downward trend of 30% to reach the neutral zone of the sentiment indicator.
The sentiment chart already showed a bearish correction pattern a few days ago.
Bitcoin continues to be the big beneficiary of the downward movement, and its dominance chart is beginning to look strongly bullish. This intermarket pattern doesn't mean that it will rise against fiat currencies, but that its value against the Altcoin segment may increase substantially.
