• Ethereum sentiment turns bullish on social platforms as traders expect price recovery toward $3,500 soon.
• Santiment notes the highest positive ratio since summer, with 2.7 encouraging comments per negative post.
• Analysts caution that enthusiasm rising too fast may trigger FOMO and abruptly halt Ethereum’s growth.

Ethereum has registered a noticeable shift in sentiment on social networks following its price attempt to recover on Thursday, while the rest of the major cryptocurrencies struggled in poor market conditions. The slight change has brought excitement across social platforms, with users believing that ETH is possibly gearing up for a comeback.

The Santiment market intelligence platform pointed out that the positive conversation rate about Ethereum recently reached 2.7 positive comments for each one negative comment posted on the platform, marking the highest positive sentiment on the cryptocurrency since the summer.

The platform’s analysts said the optimism began once Ethereum was just below the $3,500 price point, with many hoping the upward trend would resume soon.

At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $ 3,356.58 with a 24-hour trading volume of $ 57.13 billion and a market cap of $ 405.24 billion. ETH price decreased by 1.13% in the last 24 hours.

Ethereum Rally Threatened by Rising FOMO

Although there is excitement building attention around ETH, Santiment thinks the unexpected shift may be detrimental to the price of the asset because, historically, markets in the cryptocurrency world tend to swing against the tide of expectations, particularly if confidence is gained too rapidly.

Just recently, Ethereum was still around the $3,700 level, but there was also some negative social activity surrounding it, which assisted in the current bounce. However, due to the community going overboard with hope, Santiment indicates that FOMO may be the reason Ethereum’s rally is halted instead.

The platform believed that having a stable or balanced sentiment is always much better for the long run because:

“Well, you know, when the expectations calm down, and people realize there won’t be this rapid move to $4,000, that may be the actual buying opportunity,” he said.

Extreme Fear Dominates Crypto Market

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the cryptocurrency markets, concerns are also on the high side. Prices of major assets are continuing to fall due to analysts’ focus on international economic uncertainties amid the escalation of U.S.-China trade tensions.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 24 out of 100, indicating Extreme Fear. The index had fallen to 21 last week, its lowest level in about seven months, following the brief slide below $106,000.

However, some voices in the community think the bigger rally is yet to happen. JAN3com founder Samson Mow posted about how the “Bitcoin bull run has yet to fully happen,” indicating there is much more room for growth once confidence is regained in the markets.
