Ethereum fell below $2,000 overnight, and market analytics firm Santiment said investors should avoid rushing to buy the dip until retail sentiment shifts back into fear. Santiment said crowd psychology is a key variable for short-term entry points, warning that if social media is dominated by “buy the bottom” talk, prices may keep falling. It said a better entry would come when pessimism deepens and negative reactions outweigh positive ones.

Hyperliquid’s token HYPE has set fresh record highs and risen to ninth place by market value, overtaking Dogecoin, as some social media accounts talk as if $250 is assured. Market analytics firm Santiment warned that optimism on social platforms is running ahead of actual market conditions and urged caution over overheating sentiment. Santiment founder Maksim Balashevich noted HYPE is around $64 and would need about a 290 percent gain to reach $250.
