A few altcoins have diverged from the market with sharp rallies. Here’s whether they can sustain the momentum, according to social media data.<\/p>\n

Social Media Has Started Paying Attention To These Altcoins<\/h2>\n

In a new insight post<\/a>, the analytics firm Santiment has talked about some altcoins that have recently diverged from the rest of the market with notable price surges.<\/p>\n

Here are the coins in question and how their monthly returns have looked:<\/p>\n

\"Altcoin<\/p>\n

As is visible above, these altcoins have managed to deliver sizeable profits during a period where the major assets have printed losses. Bitcoin (BTC), for instance, is down around 2% on this timeframe. Among the listed alts, two are particularly prominent in terms of market cap size: Hyperliquid (HYPE) and WhiteBIT Token (WBT). The former has seen a rise of 51.6% and the latter 59.2%.<\/p>\n

Now, can these coins sustain their runs? One hint can come from social media data. Santiment has shared two indicators related to social media: Social Dominance and Positive\/Negative Sentiment. The first metric, the Social Dominance, tells us about what part of social media discussions related to the top 100 assets a particular cryptocurrency is responsible for.<\/p>\n

The indicator determines this by comparing the asset’s Social Volume, a count of the posts\/messages\/threads on social media containing unique mentions of the coin, with the combined Social Volume of the top 100 cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

The other metric of interest, the Positive\/Negative Sentiment, basically measures the ratio between the positive and negative sentiments present among the social media users.<\/p>\n

To determine this, the indicator runs the Social Volume of an asset through a machine-learning model to distinguish between bullish and bearish comments. It then takes the ratio of the two to find the net situation on these platforms.<\/p>\n

First, here is a chart that shows the trend in both of these metrics for Hyperliquid:<\/p>\n

\"Altcoins<\/p>\n

As displayed in the above graph, the Social Dominance of HYPE peaked at 1.5% in May, but has gone down since then, despite the price continuing its surge. Nonetheless, the indicator has remained at 1.25%, which is still a notable level. Alongside this high attention, the Positive\/Negative Sentiment has stayed at around 3.75, which suggests social media users have been making almost 4 times as many bullish comments related to the altcoin as bearish ones.<\/p>\n

Historically, altcoins have tended to move against the crowd’s expectations, so an excessive sentiment in either direction has often proven to be a reversal signal. This means that an overly bullish mood can actually lead to a top for an asset. Considering this, HYPE may not be in the best position for continuing its surge, at least from the perspective of sentiment.<\/p>\n

While Hyperliquid has seen a bit of a cooldown in Social Dominance, WhiteBIT Token has just seen a huge surge.<\/p>\n

\"Altcoins<\/p>\n

That said, WBT’s Positive\/Negative Sentiment hasn’t budged alongside this Social Dominance explosion, although it remains at a notable level of 3.07. Based on the trend, the analytics firm thinks, “we likely will see its price make a second run after its local top that just occurred on June 15th unless FOMO begins to make an appearance.”<\/p>\n

HYPE Price<\/h2>\n

Hyperliquid has seen a sharp decline since its peak on Monday as its price has come down to $39, a potential sign that the social media hype may already be biting back.<\/p>\n
