【BitPush】Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan has made an interesting observation in recent market analysis: Ethereum’s social media buzz is cooling down. More importantly, this subdued atmosphere is eerily similar to the market conditions before the 2025 rally—almost as if investors are collectively losing patience.
According to his analysis, this “ignored” market sentiment might actually serve as a defensive line against further declines. The data speaks for itself: ETH hit an annual low of $1,472 on April 9, then surged nearly 70% over the next four months, reaching $4,878 on August 23—setting a new all-time high in 2021.
The most ironic part is that this pattern seems to repeat itself: whenever people become completely hopeless about Ethereum and plan to give up, the price tends to surge dramatically. In other words, the low points in social media activity could be signals that the market is brewing its next move. For traders focusing on ETH, this is definitely worth pondering.

They say that when no one pays attention is the best time to buy, but as soon as I buy, I get trapped...
Social indifference = a signal of a rise? The more I hear this logic, the more it sounds like mysticism to me.
Wait, in April, it hit a bottom at 1472 and then rebounded 70%... Why didn't I get on board back then?
Every time I feel hopeless, a wave comes. Is it really that easy for traders' psychology to be repeatedly manipulated?
To put it nicely, it's really just saying that buying at the bottom is uncertain and selling at the high is too risky, right?

Haha, it's time to buy the dip again
Obscure assets are actually the best buying point, this rule is really absolute
Damn, I didn't buy the dip again, I'm regretting it
The lower the social buzz, the more I want to go all in
Wait, is this for real this time? Why does it feel like I've seen this pattern too many times

This is the same "the colder, the higher" argument again. Why do I just can't believe it?
---
Wait, so now being pessimistic is the most optimistic? My mind is a bit tangled.
---
Low social media activity = buy signal. How long can this logic be used?
---
A 70% increase sounds so casual. Who actually caught the bottom at 1472?
---
As someone repeatedly caught in losses, I say: I've heard this theory too many times, and reality also hits back just as often.
---
Every time they say "this time is different," but the pattern is always the same. It's a bit ironic.
---
A quiet market is a bottom signal? Can I wait that long, brother?
---
I really want to see who can truly hold through this round, not just armchair quarterbacks after the fact.

The quiet atmosphere is the best signal to get in. After playing this trick so many times, does anyone still not understand?
---
Here we go again. Every time, the real opportunity only comes when you're desperate, but no one believes it.
---
Wait, the lower the social buzz, the crazier the rise? Then I better mute myself quickly.
---
Really? The most desperate times often see the biggest gains. When your mindset collapses, it's actually the best buying signal.
---
I'm tired of hearing this logic, but to be fair, the data really doesn't lie.
---
So don't pay attention to those who are shouting all day. The real money is in the hands of those who stay silent.
---
It's the same routine again. Why am I still easily cut for a quick profit?
---
It always feels like this—when the buzz is low, that's actually the signal for an opportunity.

Here we go again with this set? When the market is cold, it actually rises. So should I be hopeless now or should I jump in?
---
Basically, when people's hearts are scattered, it's hard to lead the team. How many times has ETH played this trick?
---
Wait, according to this logic, shouldn't I go all-in when no one is talking?
---
Is it really a contrarian indicator? The less hot it is, the more interesting it gets.
---
Only 1472 in April? I have no memory of that at all. I was clearly still arguing back then... Never mind, too lazy to think about it.
---
Ironically, now I look at this analysis and I don't even dare to believe it.
---
Social media buzz = retail investor sentiment. Retail investor despair = bottom. This logic makes sense.
---
It's another Santiment trick, always the same spiel.
---
So, is it hot or cold now? If it's really cold, I might have to seriously consider it.
---
New all-time highs are being broken, and you're still talking about the bottom? That's a bit off.

This data makes it clear, despair is a signal.
---
Here we go again, the less people talk about it, the more they want to jump in?
---
From April to August, a 70% increase... I’m the idiot who cut losses when I was in despair.
---
So now is the time to buy the dip? Or should I keep observing?
---
Honestly, it’s always like this, human nature is just this annoying.
---
Quiet period = opportunity? That’s a bit of a stretch, but the data is right here.
---
The key is who can withstand those days of despair, easy to say.
---
Wait, according to this logic, it should be the accumulation period now.
---
Cold social buzz = reversal signal, that’s a bit of a bold statement.
---
New all-time highs have been broken, and you still talk about bottoming out? It’s already rebounded, okay?
