📊 Weekly Sentiment Pulse: What the Crowd Really Did — and What Comes Next

This isn’t what people *tweeted*. 
This is what they actually *said*, in real-time, while trading with real positions, inside the private circles.

⏳ Market Summary (Past 7 Days):

• Massive retail emotional volatility with sharp sentiment swings: from euphoric longs to total capitulation — sometimes in under 2 hours.
  
• The Mantra (OM) collapse created an emotional crater — retail bagholders in disbelief, some still hoping for a bounce, others panic selling into the floor.
  
• Solana and ETH shorts piled in hard after weekend resistance taps, driven mostly by fear of macro headlines and price fatigue.
  
• Meanwhile, BTC sentiment split in two camps: one screaming for 88k, the other preparing for 72k.
  
• Crowd still clinging to “hope coins” — with ONDO, FET, and CATBOY surfacing repeatedly in chat discussions as “safe” or “resilient,” despite market chaos.

🔥 Emotional Hot Zones:

[spoiler=FOMO Clusters]
• Late longs on OM before the dump — now deeply underwater 
• "Moon soon?" messages flying for ONDO right after OM nuked 
• FET tagged as “next mover” without context — classic hopeful rotation
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Panic Points]
• “Is OM recovering?” / “Was that a rug?” / “Telegram gone = RIP?” 
• “Should we short BTC now?” — flood of messages post 86k tap 
• “Exit scam confirmed?” — waves of anger turned into fearful silence
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Delusional Resilience]
• “I’m still in 75x long, won’t close” 
• “Holding for 10x anyway” 
• “This will bounce, just wait — classic setup”
[/spoiler]

🎯 Behavior Insights:

1. Herd Rotation Detected: 
Retail quickly migrated from OM → ONDO → FET → meme coins. 
They’re chasing the next safe haven — not because of fundamentals, but because of fear-induced displacement.

2. Positioning is Still Aggressive: 
Despite massive losses, users continue using 30x–75x leverage, showing no shift in risk posture. 
This opens up **liquidity traps** for smart players.

3. Trust Erosion in Alts: 
OM collapse triggered a trust cascade. Users openly question dev teams, tokenomics, even central exchanges. 
Sentiment among small-cap alt holders is deeply damaged.

4. “Exit Scam PTSD” is Real: 
Mentions of LUNA, TRB, and OM are all bundled together as “don’t-touch zones.” 
This fear is now bleeding into unrelated projects.

📈 Trading Opportunities:

💀 Short Traps on Weak Rebounds: 
Retail’s looking to “buy the dip” blindly — great opportunity to short into fake recovery pumps on failed coins like OM.

💎 Hidden Accumulation Clues: 
Assets with low chatter but oddly positive tone = potential quiet buy zones. 
Examples this week: SUI, FIL, even a few mentions of TIA and FLR.

🧨 Emotional Leverage Overload: 
The crowd is still using high leverage into uncertain narratives. 
Watch for liquidation flush setups on assets they’re “all-in” on — particularly meme tokens and recent pump favorites.

---

📉 Key Risks:

• Another OM-like unraveling — community is hyper-sensitive to dev silence and tokenomics exposure 
• Continued macro shocks (China/US headlines, ETF rejections) used as emotional catalysts 
• Retail refusal to derisk = perfect conditions for wipeouts

---

🧠 Final Take:

The crowd isn’t just late. They’re emotional, overleveraged, and swinging between hope and panic in real time. 
They still believe the charts are real — but their behavior tells the true story.
