Crypto market sentiment dropped for the third week in a row, now standing quite close to the bottom line of the 5-6 range. The average 7-day moving crypto market sentiment score (sentscore) for ten major cryptoassets is 5.18 today, whereas it was 5.22 a week ago, according to data provided by the market sentiment analysis service Omenics.

Only four of the ten coins are in green, with tether (USDT) taking the lead once again, having risen 6% over the past seven days. Right behind it is algorand (ALGO) with an increase to its sentscore of 5%, followed by ethereum (ETH)’s almost 4% and cardano (ADA)’s 2%.

On the other hand, crypto.com coin (CRO) is this week’s coin with the biggest loss, having seen a drop to its sentscore of almost 11%. Polkadot (DOT), XRP, and USD coin (USDC) follow it, with drops of over 6%. The least to decrease are binance coin (BNB) and bitcoin (BTC) with 3% and 2%, respectively.

Ethereum’s rise in combination with bitcoin’s drop, allowed ETH to push to the number one spot on this list, with a score of 6.3, compared to BTC’s 6.1. No other coin is in the positive zone. Four are in the 5-5.7 range, and four are in the 4.3-4.7 range.

Omenics rates 35 coins in total, so looking at the 25 coins outside the top 10 list, we find that most of their sentscores have dropped over the past week: 15 to be precise. Vechain (VET) and litecoin (LTC) dropped the most – over 9%. The lowest is synthetix network token (SNX)’s 1%. The highest among the increases is WAVES’s 16%, while the second-placed monero (XMR)’s score is up 8%.  The smallest one is 0.6% by OMG.
