The downside trend is seen primarily on social media, notably on Twitter. In recent days, analysts noted that the key hashtag has been #cryptocrash.

On the sentiment diagram, which shows the balance of bullish and bearish words, the spike in negativity appears to have begun after the recent pullback of Bitcoin below $22,000.

“It is difficult to assess what caused one of the highest levels of FUD that have ever been recorded by Santiment,” the analysts added.

Earlier on-chain data indicated potential for further Bitcoin price growth, according to the ForkLog analytical report.
