Social Volume
Mentions of crypto on X/Reddit/Telegram, popularity and hype proxy.
Social Volume: crypto noise level. High = retail interested (FOMO, near top). Low = boredom (accumulation, near bottom). Tools: LunarCrush, Santiment, Google Trends. BTC ceilings Google Trends 2x per cycle, before bull top. Sudden spike (10x/week) = attention.
In plain words
Measures how much people talk about crypto. It includes mentions on X, Reddit, Telegram, and Google searches. Silence usually means boredom and accumulation (historically an accumulation window). Noise and crypto headlines everywhere mean retail is excited and often near the cycle top. The louder, the more caution.
Example
Nov 2021 (BTC ATH 69k): Google Trends 'bitcoin' = 100 (max). Post-crash 2022: 18 (silence). Mar 2024 (ATH 73k): 65. Nov 2024 (BTC 100k): 70. Memecoins: PEPE Dec 2024 = 200k tweets/day.
