Santiment flags upbeat crypto social sentiment as Bitcoin hovers near $90K in early 2026

At the start of 2026, a Santiment analyst reported that crypto-related discussions on social media are notably upbeat, even as broader sentiment gauges show fear. Brian Quinlivan cautioned that if Bitcoin were to rise rapidly toward $92,000 from around $89,930, retail trader FOMO could emerge and potentially signal unhealthy market behavior. January has historically delivered positive average returns for both Bitcoin and Ether, yet the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has remained in the Fear to Extreme Fear zone since early November 2025.
