Crypto traders are showing high levels of fear, and some analysts say that could set the stage for a rebound. According to Santiment, social chatter about Bitcoin is split evenly between bullish and bearish.

Ether, meanwhile, has just over 50% more bullish than bearish comments, but that is still below its usual volume of positive talk. Santiment added that less than half of social posts about XRP are bullish, calling it one of the most “fearful moments of 2025” for that token.

Trader Fear Fuels Buy Opportunities

Santiment and other data providers point to extreme pessimism across the market. Based on reports, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index returned a score of 15 out of 100 on Thursday, a reading labeled “extreme fear” and the lowest since March.
