1. Peak Hype: How to Time Cryptocurrency Tops with Social Media Data

Can chatter on Twitter, Reddit & other social media predict price tops in cryptocurrencies? With amazing accuracy, our latest study says.

Using data from over 1000 social media channels, we backtested 200 extreme spikes in token-related chatter and analyzed their impact on the coin’s market price - with some incredible early results:

"Within the next 12 days after a coin claims the top 3 position on our Emerging Trends list, its price drops by an average of 8.2 percent!"

This is the first event study that demonstrates the real potential of social media data as a leading price in cryptocurrencies.

In yesterday’s insight, we looked at Bitcoin's on-chain and social data after the latest drop below $10,000, and break down the current state of institutional interest in the world's biggest cryptocurrency:

“Historically, when the MVRV Long/Short difference begins to rise above 0, it indicates the end of a bear cycle and we see the price moving upwards. And.....we just went above 0 few days ago.“
