Santiment Highlights Five Signals to Time Crypto Buy-the-Dip Moves

Crypto market capitalization has fallen more than 20% year-to-date, and investors are split on whether prices are nearing a local bottom or if the broader bear market still has room to run. Analytics platform Santiment outlined five sentiment and on-chain signals intended to help traders decide when to buy the dip.

The first indicator is extreme negative social sentiment. By measuring the balance of pessimistic and optimistic language tied directly to specific assets, traders can spot moments when fear dominates discourse. Santiment noted that sharp spikes in fear, uncertainty and doubt across social media have often preceded market rebounds — one instance saw a top asset rebound roughly 19% in under 24 hours after bottoming amid heavy FUD.

Another signal tracks the shift in language around sell-offs: mentions of “buy the dip” can rise during declines, but the platform warns this alone is unreliable.
