Bearish chatter spikes on crypto socials; Bitcoin’s network activity slumps 30% from 2025 peak

Bearish language just hit peak levels on crypto social media, Santiment shows. Similar spikes previously aligned with “Buy” zones for Bitcoin.

Santiment’s tracker sees “crash,” “dip,” and “pullback” dominating mentions, while bullish words fade. The firm’s late‑March readout flags a fear zone comparable to past signals over the last 13 months according to Santiment and echoed by coverage here.

Prior “Buy” zones in Feb, Apr, Aug, Oct, and Nov 2025 preceded upside moves per Santiment. Conversely, “Sell” signals when bullish language peaked in late Nov 2025 and mid‑Jan 2026 followed local tops and pullbacks per the same data.

On‑chain tells a cooler story. Bitcoin’s active addresses fell more than 30% from the Aug 2025 high, CryptoQuant notes on X.

  • Aug 2025 daily peak 938,609, 30‑day MA above 743,000 source
  • Late March daily 655,908, 7‑day MA ~613,000, 30‑day MA ~636,000 source detail

This drop signals fewer active transactors and softer demand, consistent with consolidation phases as reported. Analysts add that a lasting structural recovery needs rising on‑chain engagement, not price alone per CryptoQuant commentary.
