Crypto sentiment on social media has started the year on a surprisingly optimistic note, according to Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan. While many market indicators still point to fear, Santiment’s social data shows rising positivity among traders, which historically can be a warning sign rather than a green light.

Quinlivan cautions that further upside depends on retail investors staying restrained. When optimism accelerates too quickly, it often leads to emotional buying — a pattern that has previously preceded market pullbacks. For now, cautious sentiment may actually be what keeps the rally alive.
