VET Social Volume

Santiment’s social volume metric shows the number of mentions of the coin on 1000+ crypto social media channels, including Telegram groups, crypto subreddits, discord groups, private trader chats, and more. Social volume spikes often lead to a short-term pump followed by an immediate dump. 

This can be seen around July 2020. On 5th and 8th July, there were two significant spikes in the social volume, which caused the price to jump from $0.0143 to $0.0198, which was followed by an immediate dump to $0.0154

As per the chart, the social volume has had not had a significant spike since the last 12 days. What this tells us is that VET is comparatively under the radar and free from unnecessary social media hype and FUD.
