According to a new report by analytics firm Alphractal, social interest in cryptocurrencies remains surprisingly muted — even as Bitcoin hovers above $117,000 and altcoins recover from earlier lows. But this lack of buzz might be a hidden opportunity for investors.
Using data from platforms like Google Trends and Wikipedia, the firm found that search activity and general curiosity around crypto have yet to reflect the bullish price action.
Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson suggests this is typical in the early stages of a market cycle — when skepticism runs high and mainstream excitement hasn’t caught up.
“Right now, few believe what they’re seeing. That disbelief, especially around the possibility of an altseason, signals we’re early,” Wedson explained.
The firm argues that subdued sentiment often precedes explosive moves, as the absence of retail euphoria leaves room for strategic entries before full-blown FOMO takes over.
