Retail crowd fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) continue to be a strong buying signal for Bitcoin and altcoins, reported Santiment on Tuesday. Analysts shared a chart illustrating the ratio of all positive to negative comments across social media over the past seven months.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn every one of these cases, FUD took over due to world events that were overreacted to from a market perspective,\u201d they stated before adding that the market usually moves opposite to retail expectations.<\/p>\n
\u201cRetail\u2019s emotions often dictate that Bitcoin\u2019s and altcoins\u2019 prices are about to do the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n
The below chart represents the ratio of all positive vs. negative comments across social media over the past 7 months.

The crypto Fear & Greed Index remains at 38 (fear) after falling to 24 over the weekend, its lowest level since the April market crash when Trump first announced tariffs.<\/p>\n In a separate post<\/a>, Santiment reported that altcoin traders who bought the dip following the weekend rout \u201cwere handsomely rewarded,\u201d noting large gains for Sui, Bittensor, and Ethena.<\/p>\n Crypto venture capitalist \u201cDan Gambardello\u201d is one of the diamond hands who has remained bullish.\u00a0He shared a chart of the total market capitalization on Tuesday, showing how it has been steadily increasing despite these flushouts caused<\/a> by degen derivatives gamblers.<\/p>\n \u201cStay focused, have a plan, and ignore the negative anonymous comments on social media. A massive bull run is charging!\u201d<\/p>\n Take a look at the total crypto market cap monthly chart!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re ready for what\u2019s next, congratulations!<\/p>\n Stay focused, have a plan, and ignore the negative anonymous comments on social media.<\/p>\n A massive bull run is charging! pic.twitter.com\/WFvp6YEv3j<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dan Gambardello (@cryptorecruitr) October 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n Real Vision founder and CEO Raoul Pal was equally bullish, brushing off the FUD and stating<\/a> that, regardless of what sparked it, Friday was a flash crash.<\/p>\n \u201cFlash crashes usually recover in V-shapes back to their prior price\/range and usually go on to make new highs shortly after. In this case, we entirely wiped out all accumulated leverage, too. Higher.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, \u2018Degen Ape Trader\u2019 took a look at gold charts, noting<\/a> that Bitcoin remains a laggard in choppy price action. \u201cWe had the same situation 10 months ago, and at the end of the tunnel, TradFi started heavily rotating money from gold to Bitcoin,\u201d he said before predicting BTC could hit $170,000 by December.<\/p>\n Despite the wave of post-crash bullposting this week, Bitcoin was rejected<\/a> at $116,000 on Monday and fell heavily over the past 12 hours to $112,000 during Tuesday morning trading in Asia.\u00a0However, it has been trading in this range since it broke above $108,000 three months ago in mid-July.<\/p>\n \u201cUltimately, after this massive crash, the maximum pain scenario is up,\u201d said<\/a> crypto podcaster Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe before adding, \u201cThe markets were grinding up already, and I think that these will resume.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why I think that altcoins are the play.
