Though its fall in the past seven days is relatively low, the combined moving 7-day average crypto market sentiment score (sentscore) for the top 10 coins by market capitalization dropped out of the positive zone, and is now sitting at its verge. Per crypto market sentiment analysis service Omenics, the sentscore went from last week‘s 6.15 to this week’s 5.96.
Other “red changes” are noticeable too, as the majority of top coins experienced downwards corrections during the past week. Three that remain green are XRP, EOS, and Litecoin (LTC) – with the latter one being the weekly gainer in terms of market sentiment.
On the other side stands Cardano (ADA), with the largest drop by far on the list – nearly 13%. Second-placed Binance Coin (BNB) is behind it with -6.6%. The remaining coins’ sentscores, bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) included, decreased between 1% and 5%.
Compared to last week’s six, four coins currently are in the positive zone, with litecoin joining this week. And while XRP’s positive score remained unchanged, those of bitcoin and ethereum have dropped.
Sentiment change among the top 10 coins*:
Interpreting the sentscore’s scale:
– 0 to 2.5: very negative
– 2 to 3.9: somewhat negative zone
– 4 to 5.9: neutral zone
– 6 to 7.49: somewhat positive zone
– 7.5 to 10: very positive

Only bitcoin and ethereum remain in the positive zone, though bitcoin’s score fell from the 7-8 range to 6.8. No top 10 coin has a sentscore lower than 5.
