Top Altcoin Traders Bullish Despite Price Stagnation
Despite recent price stagnation, crypto traders remain bullish on several prominent altcoins. Analysis from Santiment, a leading crypto market news platform, reveals some intriguing sentiment trends.
According to Brian Quinlivan, principal analyst at Santiment, the data measures ratios of positive and negative comments, providing valuable insight into market sentiment.
Altcoin traders remain optimistic
Solanafor example, exhibits remarkably high bullish sentiment with a positive-to-negative comment ratio of 3.03:1. This optimism persists even as Ethereum, its main competitor, attracts more attention.
Crypto traders continue to express confidence in Solana’s potential for another significant rally despite its recent lackluster price performance.

Similarly, XRP showed “lukewarm sentiment” with a positive/negative ratio of 1.62:1. This indicates that traders have become somewhat impatient with its performance, much like with Cardano.
Although this ratio was lower at the start of the year, Quinlivan argues that the reduction in discussion volume indicates a decline in interest over time.

Meanwhile, Dogecoin, the largest piece of money by market capitalization, maintains a positive/negative ratio of 2.06:1. Known for its volatilityDogecoin sentiment often reflects general attitudes toward meme coins rather than its own fundamentals.
Despite minor price increases, the overall positive sentiment suggests continued interest from altcoin traders.
In the case of Shiba Inubehind Dogecoin as second largest piece of moneythere is a positive/negative ratio of 2.09:1. This sustained positive sentiment over seven weeks is notable, given the coin’s lack of price rebound since early March.
The recent death of the real Shiba Inu, which inspired the piece, might have temporarily reinforced the sentiment.
Cardano presents another interesting case with high bullish sentiment despite being one of the underperformers in 2024. With a positive/negative ratio of 3.42:1, traders remain optimistic about Cardano’s prospects, showing this which could be considered false optimism.
According to Quinlivan, this gap between sentiment and performance raises questions about future price movements.

Quinlivan underlines the importance of monitoring these sentiment trends, as they can signal potential peaks or troughs in price. High ratios of positive and negative comments often precede sentiment-driven price peaks, while lower ratios may indicate troughs.
“The higher the ratio of positive to negative comments, the more likely we are to see a sentiment-driven price peak. And on the other hand, a low ratio can cause a sentiment-related bottom,” Quinlivan said.
In conclusion, despite price stagnation, traders remain optimistic about several altcoins. SolanaDogecoin and Shiba Inu, in particular, are showing strong positive sentiment, while XRP and Cardano show more tempered but still bullish outlooks.
