Despite recent price stagnation, cryptocurrency traders remain bullish on several popular altcoins. Analysis from Santiment, a leading cryptocurrency market intelligence platform, has revealed some interesting sentiment trends.
According to Brian Quinlivan, principal analyst at Santiment, this data provides valuable insight into market sentiment by measuring the ratio of positive to negative opinions.
Altcoin traders remain optimistic
Solana, for example, shows very high optimism with a positive comment ratio of 3.03:1. This optimism persists even as its main competitor, Ethereum, receives more attention.
Crypto traders continue to express confidence in Solana’s potential for another significant upside despite its recent lackluster price performance.
Likewise, XRP showed “lukewarm sentiment” with a positive to negative ratio of 1.62:1. This suggests that traders, like with Cardano, have been somewhat impatient with performance.
This percentage was lowered earlier this year, but Quinlivan claims interest is waning over time due to less discussion.

Meanwhile, Dogecoin, the largest meme coin by market capitalization, maintains a positive-to-negative ratio of 2.06:1. Known for its volatility, Dogecoin’s sentiment often reflects general attitudes toward meme coins rather than its own underlying principles.
Despite the slight price increase, the overall positive sentiment suggests continued interest from altcoin traders.
Shiba Inu, the second largest meme coin after Dogecoin, has a positive to negative ratio of 2.09:1. Considering the coin’s lack of price bounce since early March, the positive sentiment that has persisted for seven weeks is noteworthy.
Emotions may have been temporarily heightened by the recent death of the actual Shiba Inu that inspired the coin.
Cardano presents another interesting example of strong performance in 2024 despite underperforming. With a positive to negative ratio of 3.42:1, traders remain hopeful about Cardano’s prospects, showing what could be considered misplaced optimism.
According to Quinlivan, this discrepancy between sentiment and performance raises questions about future price movements.

Quinlivan emphasizes the importance of monitoring these sentiment trends, as they can signal potential price peaks or troughs. A high ratio of positive to negative comments often precedes the highest price based on sentiment, while a low ratio may indicate the lowest price.
“The higher the ratio of positive to negative comments, the more likely it is that sentiment will lead to price increases. On the other hand, low rates can result in an emotional bottom,” Quinlivan said.
In conclusion, despite price stagnation, traders remain bullish on several altcoins. In particular, Solana, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu show strong positive sentiment, while XRP and Cardano show a more moderated but still optimistic outlook.
