Buy the dip is one of the most famous narratives in the crypto community, indicating an intention to purchase the token when the price drops.
Santiment's Social Trends indicator tracks chatter across Telegram, Reddit, X, and 4Chan to identify keywords or topics that have sparked interest.
While the spike in the number of "buy the dip" mentions suggests bullish crowd sentiment, historically, it has marked deeper price pullbacks.
Throughout the 2021 bull market, spikes in the buy-the-dip calls coincided/were followed by another leg lower in prices. Pullbacks eventually found a floor with the crowd leaning neutral-to-bearish.
Bitcoin traded at $43,200 at press time, representing a 0.8% gain on the day, CoinDesk data shows.
