The rising number of \u201cbuy the dip\u201d calls on social media following Bitcoin\u2019s 5% decline over the past week could signal more downside ahead for the crypto market, sentiment platform Santiment says.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly, overall, in the markets, people are getting antsy and trying to find some entry spots now that prices have cooled down a bit,\u201d Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan said<\/a> in a video published on YouTube on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Santiment said<\/a> in a separate report published on the same day that social media mentions of \u201cbuy the dip\u201d have increased significantly amid the crypto market downturn, which may be a warning sign for the market. <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t interpret \u2018buy the dip\u2019 chatter as a definitive bottom signal. A true market floor often coincides with widespread fear and a lack of interest in buying,\u201d Santiment said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA real bottom often forms when the crowd loses hope and becomes afraid to buy,\u201d Santiment added.<\/p>\n

Sentiment is recovering as traders anticipate altcoin season <\/p>\n

The total crypto market capitalization is $3.79 trillion at the time of publication, down approximately 6.18% over the past seven days, according<\/a> to CoinMarketCap. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) is trading at $108,748 at the time of publication, down approximately 5% over the same period. On Aug. 14, Bitcoin reached a new high of $124,128.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s often echoed among crypto analysts that prices move opposite to what retail traders<\/a> expect, and history suggests that when more people think the market has reached a bottom, it can actually signal further downside.<\/p>\n

Market sentiment is slowly recovering, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index<\/a> climbing back to a \u201cNeutral\u201d score of 48 out of 100 on Sunday, after dipping into \u201cFear\u201d at 39 out of 100 the previous day.<\/p>\n

Some traders are speculating that the crypto market\u2019s pullback from Bitcoin\u2019s recent highs could be a sign that the long-awaited altcoin season is approaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cMega altseason\u201d may be approaching, says trader<\/p>\n

Crypto trader Ash Crypto pointed<\/a> out in an X post on the same day that \u201cAltcoins are now the most oversold ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven during the Covid crash, FTX collapse or tariff wars, they weren\u2019t this oversold,\u201d the trader said, suggesting it could be a sign of a \u201cmega altseason\u201d similar to the big rallies of 2017 and 2021.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, CoinMarketCap\u2019s Altcoin Season Index<\/a> shifted from \u201cBitcoin Season\u201d to \u201cAltcoin Season,\u201d reaching a score of 60 out of 100 at the time of publication.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, crypto trader Ak47 said<\/a>, with a \u201cpossible Fed rate cut and altcoin ETF approval this fall, the next rally could be huge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

CME\u2019s FedWatch Tool shows<\/a> market participants see an 86.4% chance of the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates for the first time this year in September, which is typically seen as a bullish signal for crypto as investors look for higher returns in riskier assets.<\/p>\n
